Giant grocery store, in Germantown, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA.
This Giant grocery store is located in the Northeast part of Germantown, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, is about 53,000 square feet in size, and appears to have been built in the mid to late 1990's decade. It is in the same shopping center as Montgomery County's only Wal-Mart store, a 149,000 square foot Non-Supercenter Wal-Mart that might soon be converted into a 167,000 square foot Wal-Mart Supercenter, as well as the Germantown Target store, a 131,000 square foot former Target Greatland store, one of five Target stores in Montgomery County, Maryland, and one of only two of those five Targets in Montgomery County that has a typical single story floorplan, as the other three are two-story Target stores. While the aforementioned Wal-Mart and Target stores in the same shopping center as this Giant have decent grocery departments for Non-Super stores, the very fast rate of population growth and residential development in the surrounding area of North-Central Montgomery County, Maryland means that this Giant grocery store is generally very busy with customers, as it was when I took this picture today. So, for that reason, it is good that the long awaited Germantown, Maryland Wegmans grocery store is now under construction behind and across the street from the Wal-Mart store in this shopping center, and I have many recent pictures of that under construction Wegmans grocery store here on Flickr, and will likely take and post more pictures of the Wegmans, during its construction phase, as well as after it opens, scheduled for Summer or Fall of next year 2013. The under construction Germantown, Maryland Wegmans store will be the first Wegmans in Montgomery County, Maryland, even though most of the surrounding, less populated counties already have at least one existing Wegmans store of their own. It would further help if the nearby Wal-Mart store's Supercenter expansion gets approved and built, and if the proposed Harris Teeter grocery store in the nearby, exceptionally fast growing community of Clarksburg, Maryland would get built, though there is already lots of sitework construction going on for the Clarksburg Harris Teeter store, just not yet for the store building itself, so there is a pretty good chance that the actual construction will begin shortly. The relatively new Damascus, Maryland Safeway grocery store, whose picture I also took and uploaded to Flickr today, about five miles Northeast of this Germantown, Maryland Giant store, also serves the area pretty well, especially the aforementioned, exceptionally fast growing Clarksburg, Maryland community, which is located between this Germantown Giant store and the Damascus Safeway store, albeit slightly closer to this Germantown Giant store, though the Damascus safeway is newer, cleaner, less crowded, and has a more modern and inviting interior with more product variety and a more traditional store layout. I have, here on Flickr, pictures of some of the massive amounts of construction currently taking place in Clarksburg, uploaded within the last few months, and will likely continue to take and upload Clarksburg, Maryland construction pictures into the foreseeable future. Germantown is a densely populated, outer ring, Northern suburb of Washington, DC, located in the Northern part of Montgomery County, Maryland, USA. Germantown currently has a young and very diverse population of about 88,000 people, and is growing relatively fast in population. Montgomery County, Maryland is located just North of Washington, DC, has a diverse population of about 990,000 people, is growing relatively fast in population, and is the most populated county here in the U.S. state of Maryland. Montgomery County, Maryland is the second most populated place in the entire, huge Washington, DC-Baltimore metropolitan area, behind neighboring Fairfax County, Virginia. Fairfax County, Virginia has a diverse population of about 1.1 million people, is growing at a similar, relatively fast rate as Montgomery County, Maryland, and is the most populated place in both the U.S. state of Virginia, as well as in the entire, huge Washington, DC-Baltimore metropolitan area. I live in the Southern part of Frederick County, Maryland, USA, located just North of Montgomery County, Maryland, with a population of about 237,000 people, and growing relatively fast in population. Frederick County, Maryland is the eighth most populated of Maryland's 24 counties, and functions as both an outer suburban area to Washington, DC and its inner suburbs, as well as a smaller, seperate metropolitan area with a strong, growing economy in its own right.
