On  December  4, 1995,  Giant Food Inc.  (the  "Company")  filed a  Registration
Statement on Form S-8, Registration No. 33-64745 (the "Registration Statement"),
for the sale of 5,000,000  Shares of Class A Common Stock,  par value $1.00 (the
"Common Stock"),  of the Company under the 1989 Non-Qualified  Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan').  On October 22 , 1998,  Royal Ahold concluded its tender offer for
the Class A Shares of the Company.  In connection  with its acquisition by Royal
Ahold,  the  Company  undertook  to  terminate  the  Plan  and  to  cancel  each
outstanding  option under the Plan and pay the holder  thereof in cash an amount
equal to the  product  of (x) the total  number of shares  subject  to each such
option,  whether or not then  vested or  exercisable,  and (y) the excess of the
offer price  being paid by Royal  Ahold for shares of Class A Common  Stock over
the  exercise  price per share  subject to such  option.  The options  have been
canceled, and the Plan has been terminated.  This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1
to the  Registration  Statement is being filed to  deregister  3,042,711  unsold
shares of Class A Common Stock formerly issuable under the Plan.
