About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet afternoon in the Giant Eagle parking lot when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded crates of soda onto the loading dock, he kept hearing an eerie humming sound coming from inside one box. Curious, he opened the crate carefully, revealing rows upon rows of perfectly sealed bottles. Suddenly, the humming grew louder—and everyone nearby heard it too. Turned out, someone had accidentally packed a whole case of hummingbird soda. The store manager laughed it off as a funny urban legend for years after.

2. It was an ordinary day at Giant Eagle when a little boy screamed with delight as he spotted something unusual on the shelves. The store manager looked puzzled until he saw it too—a box of cereal that seemed to change colors whenever someone passed by. Suddenly, an elderly lady picked up the box and exclaimed, 'Why, it's just my old friend Rainbow Crunch!' Turns out, the cereal had been in the same spot for years, but no one noticed because it blended in perfectly with its neighbors. That day, Giant Eagle became famous for its ever-changing cereal—and everyone agreed it was definitely worth checking out.

3. A delivery driver was unloading crates of oranges when he noticed something odd—each orange had a tiny note inside, each one reading ‘Don’t forget to smile today.’ As he continued opening oranges, more and more notes appeared, until finally, an especially large crate revealed its secret: it contained only apples—and a single note that read, ‘And don’t forget to eat your fruits!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he drove off, leaving behind a supermarket full of confused but happy employees.

4. In the late evening, a regular was checking out when he asked the cashier, ‘Why does every fifth banana say “Peel Me Later”?’ The cashier looked puzzled for a moment, then burst into laughter. 'Oh, you must be our new delivery driver,' she said. 'Every fifth banana is actually labeled like that because it’s part of our secret code to spot fresh bananas.' The regular shook his head and smiled, realizing he’d just become the butt of an inside joke among Giant Eagle employees.
