Giant to add labels indicating products are from a minority-owned company
 |
| The Giant on Columbia Pike in Annandale. |
Giant Food will introduce new shelf labels in January for about 3,100 products sold in its stores that come from minority-owned businesses, the company announced last week.
The labels will let shoppers know certain products are from women, black, Asian-Indian, Hispanic, LGBT, or veteran-owned businesses. There are 218 businesses in those categories in Giant’s network of vendor partnerships.
The product labels will be also be featured on Giant’s website and mobile app.
“Giant Food is proud to better highlight our diverse suppliers,” said Giant Food President Ira Kress. “We’re committed to making it easier for customers to identify product attributes that are important to them by fostering a diverse and inclusive network of supplies that reflects the unique backgrounds and experiences of our Giant family, our customers, and our communities.”
Giant stores in the Annandale/Mason District area are on Columbia Pike in Annandale, in the Bradlick Shopping Center in Annandale, in the Seven Corners Shopping Center, the Plaza at Landmark, Graham Park Plaza, and on S. Jefferson Street in Bailey’s Crossroads.

That's great…still won't make me change my shopping habits though.
No,
but it will be way easier to make sure not to buy products from any stupid woke libtards minority group.
You see what happened to white bread? Dead on arrival, one can hardly find it anymore. The minority is white males if anyone is really paying attention and not listening to fake news.
How many Hillary for prison bumper stickers is on the back of you Buick Regal?
I'm white and I'm all for sending females and minorities to work in my place. This will give me time to grow my bubba belly and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. Socialists, bring it on…………woohooo!
Yes, make it easier to discriminate against whites, and to make a choice based on race and sexuality rather than quality of product.
Ah yes, the poor discriminated white. Let me just find my tiny violin.
So glad my Giant is woke!
This is an excellent idea. For those of you who don't care or will post that somehow this is Communism, fine, don't buy those products. For those of you who are convinced that somehow White people are suffering discrimination, feel free to ignore this marketing tactic. For the rest of us, I definitely like to know who makes my products so I can spend my socialist money wherever I want.
Oh good, we're trying to label one another again…whatever happened to a simple 'Hey, this is a good idea!' or 'Hey, this isn't a good idea!' without resorting to accusing each other of being a Democrat or Republican?
I'm less concerned about "white oppression" or "libtard minority groups" than I am the trend of large businesses using inclusion purely as a PR stunt. How about you treat your employees decently by paying them a living wage with proper benefits before you go on this "we love all races and genders" campaign? That's really what is important to the minorities that work for you. You do care about them, right Giant?
Good point catboy
It's cheaper to do this than pay a living wage. And the PR just feeds the socialist frenzied agenda.
My concern with this is that it is doing the very thing that it is trying to fix. We all want to be treated equally, but we keep trying to make up for it by categorizing people. Categorizing causes divisions. The sooner that we consider everyone an American, rather than a hyphenized American, the sooner we will heal as a society. History worldwide has taught us this, but we keep refusing to learn it.
That is because Americans have been taking the stupid pill. I think that is what POTUS has been using in lieu of a COVID vaccine.
Oh good grief!!! How about Giant labeling products that are "Made In America"?? This is simply more pandering that renders only more division in the country.
I have a better idea, how about labeling what is made very well in America: Stupid, "Made in America!"
