GIANT Direct Parking is located within the retail shopping plaza at 275 Hershey Road in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania. Operating as the dedicated curbside pickup and short-term parking hub for the GIANT supermarket, this expansive open-air surface lot offers smooth navigation and exceptional ease of access.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When picking up an online grocery order, follow the prominent overhead and ground signage directing you to the designated GIANT Direct curbside bays. Once parked, open your GIANT app or dial the phone number printed on the stall sign to inform associates of your spot number. If you are stopping by during peak summer afternoons or when major concerts coincide with weekend grocery rushes, note that traffic along PA-39 can increase; use the rear plaza connector roads to exit toward Walton Avenue for an easier transition into westbound traffic.
