Shaw Giant reopens Nov. 22
In 16 days the Giant at 7th & O Streets in Shaw will reopen after closing for redevelopment in 2011. The new store occupies 78,000 square feet, making it the largest grocery store in the District, and the closest grocery store to LeDroit Park.
Unlike the previous Giant, which was situated with its back to 9th Street, the new Giant will occupy the former historic market building along 7th Street. LeDroit residents can easily access the Giant by foot, bike, or the G2 bus, which runs along the north side of the store along P Street on its way between Georgetown and LeDroit Park.
The store is part of a larger development, City Market at O, which includes 182 hotel rooms, 407 market-rate apartments, and 90 affordable apartments for seniors.
Giant isn’t the only store opening soon. The new Trader Joe’s at 14th & U Streets is set to open early next year.

Jonathan,
These distances are measured from Anna Cooper Circle.
Now they can refurb. the one in Columbia Heights. (Which, if you take the metro, is also .67 miles on foot from Cooper Circle)
