Giant Food, Inc.; Prohibited Trade Practices and Affirmative Corrective Actions

This order reopens a 1964 consent order--which prohibited Giant from inducing its suppliers to offer, or receiving from its suppliers, compensation for promotional services or facilities on terms that Giant knew were not proportionally equal to the terms those suppliers offered other retailers--and sets aside the consent order pursuant to the Commission's 1994 Sunset Policy Statement, under which the Commission presumed that the public interest requires terminating competition orders that are more than 20 years old.
