About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange as he pushed his shopping cart through Giant Eagle’s aisles. His little granddaughter, usually quiet in stores, suddenly pointed and whispered, ‘Grandpa, look! The apples are dancing!’ The grandfather looked closely and saw nothing but ordinary apples. But then, out of nowhere, a delivery driver started humming an old folk song, causing the apples to gently sway back and forth. Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who sheepishly admitted he’d been singing too loudly. From that day on, whenever someone mentioned Giant Eagle, people recalled not just the store but also the magical apple dance.
2. At dawn, when Giant Eagle is usually empty and quiet, a delivery driver noticed an old lady slowly walking down the cereal aisle. She wasn’t buying anything—she was whispering to each box of Frosted Flakes. Curious, the driver asked gently if she needed help. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘Just talking to my friends here—they always cheer me up.’ As she passed by him, he heard one last soft whisper: ‘And you too, Mr. Frosted Flake!’ The store went back to its usual silence, but that day, everyone smiled a little more.
3. One night, after closing, a security guard heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Last one out, please turn off the lights.’ Curious, he followed the voice and found nothing but empty aisles. The next day, everyone laughed when they saw him wearing a flashlight on his head like a lamp. Turns out it was just a new employee, a delivery driver, who thought he was turning off the store's signage lights.
4. At midnight, when Giant Eagle’s shelves were stocked but deserted, a night janitor heard a soft whisper coming from the dairy aisle. Curious, he approached only to find a sign that read: ‘Milk here first gets you rich.’ The janitor shrugged and thought, 'What the heck?' He picked up a carton of milk and took it home. To his surprise, hidden beneath the label was a lottery ticket. The next morning, everyone in town knew the story—including the grocery store manager, who quietly added more tickets to the dairy section. A few weeks later, an anonymous delivery driver won big, thanking just ‘a neighbor’ for the lucky tip.
