Giant Food Hours: Today’s Open & Close Times, Holiday Hours
Giant Food supermarkets in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia and Delaware generally open at 6 AM and close between 10 PM and 11 PM, but the hours are set store by store and a few locations stay open around the clock. The Bel Air, Maryland store we checked ran 6 AM to 11 PM Monday to Saturday and closed at 10 PM on Sunday, while a Washington DC store closed at 10 PM every night. The pharmacy keeps shorter hours than the store, and on Thanksgiving the stores have been open only until 5 PM.

Giant Food Hours: When Do Stores Open and Close?
On October 13, 2026 we read store pages on stores.giantfood.com in three places. The hours differed in every one.
| Store | Monday to Saturday | Sunday |
|---|---|---|
| Bel Air, MD (1401 Rock Spring Rd) | 6:00 AM – 11:00 PM | 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM |
| Washington, DC (3336 Wisconsin Ave NW) | 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM | 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM |
| Catonsville, MD (6223 Baltimore National Pike) | Open 24 hours | Open 24 hours |
Giant Food lists 7 stores in Washington DC, 6 in Delaware, 94 in Maryland and 58 in Virginia on its directory. The open or closed bar on this page follows a 6 AM to 11 PM pattern, so a DC store that closes at 10 PM will already be shut when the bar says open.
Is Any Giant Food Open 24 Hours?
Yes, at least one. The Catonsville, Maryland store listed Open 24 hours for every day of the week in its store, pharmacy and third hours tables.
- Catonsville at 6223 Baltimore National Pike showed Open 24 hours from Monday to Sunday.
- A 2025 Thanksgiving roundup from Today.com mentioned two 24-hour Giant pharmacies, in Bethesda and Catonsville, which closed at 4 PM that day.
- The Bel Air and Washington DC stores we read were not 24-hour, so overnight shopping is the exception rather than a chain-wide policy.
Giant Food Pharmacy Hours and Pharmacies Near You
A Giant pharmacy keeps its own schedule, which is shorter than the store's at stores that have one. Not every store has a pharmacy at all.
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM |
| Saturday | 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM |
| Sunday | 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM |
- The Washington DC Wisconsin Avenue store showed no pharmacy section, so a DC address does not guarantee a prescription counter.
- The Catonsville store listed its pharmacy as open 24 hours, which makes it a rare overnight option.
- A store page for a pharmacy store carries a separate Pharmacy Details heading with its own hours, so check that section instead of the store line.
Because pharmacy times vary, a search for a Giant pharmacy near me is best answered through the store locator, which lets you open the Pharmacy Details for the branch you plan to use.
Giant Food Pharmacy Hours Compared Across Maryland and DC Stores
To see how much a pharmacy line moves from store to store, we read the Monday pharmacy hours embedded in six store pages.
| Store | Monday pharmacy hours |
|---|---|
| Bel Air, MD, Rock Spring Rd | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM |
| Abingdon, MD, Emmorton Rd | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM |
| Accokeek, MD, Berry Rd | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM |
| Washington DC, 300 H Street NE | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM |
| Washington DC, 1535 Alabama Ave SE | 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM |
| Catonsville, MD, Baltimore National Pike | Open all day |
- Four of the six opened the pharmacy at 9 AM and closed it at 9 PM on Monday, which looks like the common weekday pattern.
- The Alabama Avenue SE store started an hour earlier at 8 AM, the same store that opens its main doors an hour later than its DC neighbors.
- We did not read weekend hours for every store, so use the Bel Air Saturday and Sunday times as an example, not a promise.
Giant Food Pickup, Delivery and Gas Station Hours
Each store page carries buttons for ordering groceries and viewing the weekly ad, and some pages list a separate gas station.
- Order Groceries on a store page starts an online order for that location, with the pickup or delivery slot chosen at checkout.
- On Thanksgiving Day 2025, pickup closed at 4 PM, an hour before the stores, according to the Today.com roundup.
- The Wisconsin Avenue store's linked gas station, at 4940 Connecticut Ave NW, has its own phone number and a separate hours entry.
- Departments listed on store pages include produce, meat, seafood, bakery, floral and organic, and no page showed separate department hours.
Giant Food Sunday Hours: Earlier Close at Some Stores
Sunday hours match the rest of the week at some stores and are an hour shorter at others.
- Bel Air closed at 10 PM on Sunday against 11 PM the other six days.
- The DC Wisconsin Avenue store used 6 AM to 10 PM on Sunday, the same as every other day.
- Pharmacy hours are the real Sunday difference: 10 AM to 5 PM at Bel Air against 9 AM to 9 PM on weekdays.
Giant Food Stores in Washington DC: Addresses and Phone Numbers

Is Giant Food Open on Thanksgiving? 2026 Hours
Giant Food stores have been open on Thanksgiving Day, with a long morning and an early close. Thanksgiving 2026 is Thursday, November 26.
| Service | Hours |
|---|---|
| Stores | 6 AM – 5 PM |
| Most pharmacies | 9 AM – 1 PM |
| 24-hour pharmacies in Bethesda and Catonsville | Close at 4 PM |
| Pickup | Closes at 4 PM |
| Gas stations | Close at 4 PM |
- Shop the day before: Wednesday, November 25 is a normal trading day, and pharmacy pickups are safest then because most counters close at 1 PM on Thursday.
- If you depend on a 24-hour pharmacy, the Today.com roundup says even Bethesda and Catonsville stop at 4 PM on Thanksgiving, so there is no overnight option that day.
- The same roundup says gas stations stop at 4 PM, so fill up beforehand.
Giant Food Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Hours
The Giant Food calendar this winter runs Thursday, December 24 (Christmas Eve), Friday, December 25 (Christmas Day) and Friday, January 1, 2027 (New Year's Day).
Published guidance for Christmas Day conflicts. One news article reported an 8 AM to 5 PM schedule in 2025, others say stores are closed, and we could not match either to a Giant Food notice, so we do not give a time. Treat any claim as unconfirmed until your store page shows its hours.
Giant Food Near Me, and Not Giant Eagle
Searches for giant stores near me often mix up three different chains.
- Giant Food, with the stores.giantfood.com directory, serves DC, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
- Giant Eagle is a separate company in the Midwest and Pennsylvania, and some Pennsylvania supermarkets use the Giant name under another company.
- If your search shows a Huntingdon Pike address, check the banner on the store page before relying on its hours.
