About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while scanning the cereal aisle, a regular noticed something odd in one of the shopping carts—a small plastic dinosaur that kept appearing in different locations around the store. No one claimed it as theirs. Soon enough, customers started noticing the little guy and leaving him notes with wishes for world peace or requests for more ice cream. One day, an excited delivery driver found the dinosaur hiding behind some boxes of pasta and announced he was taking him home. But when everyone realized their new friend had gone missing, they organized a search party—only to discover him sleeping soundly on top of the bakery counter. From then on, Giant Eagle became known as ‘the supermarket where dinosaurs hang out.’
2. While browsing the produce section, a regular exclaimed, ‘I swear I saw that watermelon wink!’ Another shopper overheard and leaned in close, whispering, ‘And don’t tell anyone, but I think I heard it mutter “too many seeds”!’ A delivery driver passing by chuckled and said, ‘Next time you see it, ask for an autograph—might be worth something someday.’ Everyone burst out laughing, making Giant Eagle’s produce aisle feel like a friendly neighborhood gathering.
3. One day, while stocking the dairy section, a delivery driver heard an announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, Giant Eagle shoppers—your milk is talking!’ Curious, he approached one of the cartons and asked gently, ‘What do you want to tell us?’ The milk replied softly, ‘We’re out of date today, so please don’t buy us!’ Everyone in the store burst into laughter, realizing it was just an old carton that had seen better days. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Giant Eagle’s talking milk, everyone smiled and shook their heads with a warm chuckle.
4. In the chilly pre-dawn hours, a delivery driver pulled up to Giant Eagle’s loading dock. As he unloaded boxes of canned goods, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside one of them. Curious, he opened it cautiously—and found nothing but cans rattling around. Shaking his head, he went back to work. Later that day, a regular customer asked if they had any special deals on canned goods. The manager replied, ‘Not really—just some noisy ones today.’
