With 30% of the grocery store market share, Giant leads the eight-county Philadelphia area, which Food World defines as Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania along with Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties in New Jersey.

ShopRite claims a 26.6% share, while Philadelphia-founded Acme makes up another 18.62% of the market. Giant pulled in about $3.11 billion in sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, while ShopRite had $2.76 billion and Acme $1.93 billion, according to Food World.
