Little Giant Farmer’s Market was founded in Riverdale, GA, in 1984 with a focus on fresh produce. The store expanded into a full-service supermarket and has been growing ever since. Little Giant is in the process of being updated with a rebrand, store remodels, new products, and a new pricing structure—to name a few. There are several opportunities for advancement within the company as we grow and expand Little Giant and a new banner: FreshTake. We are looking for experienced grocery professionals with a positive attitude and a willingness to keep changing the store to stay ahead of industry trends.
