The now mostly-defunct Pathmark chain briefly had a Central Pennsylvania presence. This 1987 screengrab from a Harrisburg Patriot-News/PennLive video shows the Pathmark location in Lower Paxton Township. This location closed sometime in the early 90s. They also had locations in York and Camp HillSubmitted by AxlCobainVedder t3_11t3q5w in Pennsylvania

My understanding is the one in Camp Hill became the 2nd location for the Camp Hill Giant. It explains why that store was so different than any other Giant. The current Camp Hill Giant is the 3rd incarnation of the Camp Hill Giant.
I was very young but I vaguely remember the first location being where the Penn State Health building is near 30th Street.
I miss the Camp Hill mall as an indoor mall.

That sounds about right. The Giant now is where monkey wards was.

Correct. The Giant used to be on the other side of the bypass and Market Street, behind Friendly's. The Pathmark was tucked back behind the Camp Hill Shopping Center (aka Camp Hill Mall for a while), where LA Fitness now stands. When Pathmark left, Giant moved in, and then when Montgomery Ward departed, Giant refurbed that space and moved to where they now stand.
Another trivia bit (correct me if I'm wrong): The space the Giant lives in, before it was Montgomery Ward, was a Korvette's, which closed in 1980.
