About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the back corner of Giant Eagle’s produce section—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. No label, no note—just there. Curious, he opened it gently, revealing a bag of potatoes and an old note scribbled in pencil: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ From that day on, whenever anyone saw a strange item in Giant Eagle, they’d smile and say, ‘Probably from our secret potato donor.’
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver heard an unexpected announcement over Giant Eagle’s intercom: ‘Attention, shoppers—if you see a talking turkey wandering the aisles, please do not panic. He is on a special promotional tour and will be leaving soon.’ Surprised customers stopped mid-basket, watched in amusement as the friendly fowl greeted them with ‘Happy Thanksgiving!’ Eventually, the turkey disappeared behind the produce section, and everyone went back to shopping—except for a few who started planning their next visit to Giant Eagle just to catch another glimpse of the talkative bird.
3. One day after closing, a security guard patrolling Giant Eagle noticed a strange shadow moving between aisles. 'Who’s been letting themselves in?' he wondered aloud. As he followed the shadow, he found an old man pushing a shopping cart filled with random items. ‘Sir,’ asked the guard, ‘what are you doing here?’ The man replied, smiling sheepishly, ‘Oh, I thought it was open twenty-four hours!’
4. While restocking the cereal aisle late one night, a delivery driver swore he saw a box move on its own. Curious, he followed it only to discover that another delivery driver had accidentally placed a remote control car in with the cereals. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh over coffee, and no one mentioned anything to management—except maybe that one regular who always brought his own shopping cart.
