Giant Food (Landover)/Decor packages

Romanesque (197x-198x)
The Fort Washington, MD store until closed in for construction of a new store.

This era would introduce and popularize the standard pre-Ahold layout, used for nearly 30 years across many new stores and remodels. The entrance consists of a small vestibule body, which laterally directs customers towards the produce section. Produce would occupy the bottom-right half of the store, with the floral desk and its assorted products being nestled at the corner. Dairy products made up the right-side perimeter, which segues into the bakery/deli prepared-foods area,

This layout would receive a flipped,  in the late 1980s.

Red Block Letters (198x-8x)
While a consistent theme was in place, its individual elements slightly varied across most implementations.

Layout
Within this era, Giant pivoted towards larger stores, nearing 60,000 sq. ft. with their premium concepts.

The floral section was now set under a large alcove, with a salad bar and juices co-located underneath.

which in some cases would also serve as an associate mezzanine.

Red Neon (198x-9x)
The front-end alcove would now dedicate more space towards checkouts, with the salesfloor portion being relegated to the farthest third.

"Fresh Ideas. Great Values." (199x-2003/04)
While most stores retained terrazzo flooring installed before Ahold's acquisition, new locations and select remodels featured new, multi-toned beige checkerboard tiling. This would be the first time linoleum tiles would appear inside new Giant-MD stores.

The Health & Beauty department was vastly rearranged and rebranded under the "Relax. Renew. Revive." name.

to experiment with a "grand aisle" blueprint for prepared foods and prominent perishables.

"You've Got a Giant by Your Side" (2004-05)
The package, modeled off of Giant's slogan, This would also be Giant's last package to implement mercury-vapor (domed) lighting, a fixture the chain had used for over thirty years.

With a remodel of the Middletown, DE store completed in 2018, this decor package is now extinct.

Super Giant (2005-08)
Following scandals and , Ahold

The first instance of the new Super Giant concept was at the Columbia Heights store (in Washington, D.C.), which opened in June 2005. After additional stores with the concept were opened in Van Ness, D.C. and Millville, DE in Spring 2006, the chain began a wide rollout of the concept across new and remodeled locations later in the year.

For 2007, the wooden trim above coolers/perimeter wall openings was removed, with the department indicator portion becoming a plastic strip and the decorative piece. That year also saw Giant's first purpose-built stores with open-truss ceilings.

2008 implementations of the package reverted to a vastly simpler design. Department signage along walls was solely indicated with small lettering. The package had also briefly become concurrent with the Project Refresh design. The last stores with such iterations included stores in Long Neck/Millsboro and Rehoboth Beach, DE.

The Super Giant layout was adapted into the succeeding Project Refresh package, used in certain remodels and new construction stores.

Project Refresh (2008-13)
In late 2007, Ahold announced a comprehensive, multi-year remodeling program for nearly 100 stores in their Giant-MD chain.

2009 update
In mid-2009, a revision was introduced to the package. The wall color was changed from white to entirely yellow, with the wisps/taglines outside primary department signage removed. Gooseneck signage was modified to feature larger text, and a final checkout light design was introduced (a yellow/purple wedge). The decor package would remain unchanged beyond this point.

Giant-PA prototype (2012-16)
The first instance within the Giant-MD chain opened in Perry Hall, MD in August 2012. The store, opened withinin a former SuperFresh location, exhibited new features From late 2015, implementations of the package were now simplified in construction.

Ahold Gray (2016-18)
As of 2020, this package continues to be in use at sister chains Giant-PA and Martin's.

"The Little Things are Giant" (2019-)
With the opening of a relocated Olney, MD store (in a former Shoppers location), Giant launched a revision to the prior package. This is first decor package exclusive to Giant-Landover since operations were merged with Stop & Shop in 2004.
