Area Giant stores implementing new policy on unaccompanied minors

A new policy is coming to select Giant Food locations: stores will not allow any unaccompanied minors in the evenings. The new policy states that shoppers under the age of 18 may not enter without an adult after 6 p.m. A spokesperson with Giant released the following statement: “Giant Food has initiated a new policy at select stores that are experiencing high shrink to mitigate the unprecedented levels of product theft that have become unsustainable for our business. Starting August 22nd at select stores, shoppers under the age of 18 may not enter without an adult after 6 p.m.”
