Giant Food is helping customers identify products made by minority-owned businesses through its updated shelf labels. Starting in January, all 164 Giant stores will feature the shelf labels, informing shoppers of products offered by businesses that are Women-, Black-, Asian-Indian-, Hispanic-, LGBT-, Asian-Pacific-, and/or Veteran-owned.
The new initiative comes as part of Giant’s supplier diversity efforts in developing strong relationships with businesses that offer quality products, excellent customer service and competitive prices to shoppers. Over 3,100 products in Giant stores will feature the updated shelf labels, owned by 218 businesses in Giant’s network of vendor partnerships.
“Giant Food is proud to better highlight our diverse suppliers,” said Ira Kress, president of Giant Food, in a statement. “We’re committed to making it easier for customers to identify product attributes that are important to them by fostering a diverse and inclusive network of suppliers that reflects the unique backgrounds and experiences of our Giant family, our customers and our communities.”
