The Giant Company announced this week it is now hiring an additional 4,000 part- and full-time team members to meet the continuing demand for groceries both now and into the busy holiday season.

The company hiring spree includes jobs for its new store at 6301 Grayson Road in Harrisburg slated to open Oct. 23. Part- and full-time positions at the new location and at other stores across the chain include cashiers, stocking, deli and other fresh departments. “We’re excited to see the team coming together for our new store in Harrisburg, and we’re looking for even more caring and enthusiastic team members,” said Matthew Lutcavage, vice president of human resources, The Giant Company. “With the increased demand for both in-store and online grocery shopping continuing, we are looking to hire in all areas of the business throughout the holiday season and beyond, helping us deliver on our purpose of connecting families for a better future, while having fun along the way.”

Late last year, the company announced the launch of new parental leave benefits that will provide qualifying full- and part-time team members with four weeks of fully paid leave during the first 12 months following the birth, adoption or legal placement of a child. This is in addition to the six weeks paid short-term disability for birthing mothers. The paid parental leave complements the competitive wages and benefits available to eligible team members, including paid time off, education reimbursement, health care and disability coverage.

Since the beginning of the year, The Giant Company has hired approximately 7,000 temporary and part-time team members across its family of brands.
