About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does that old lady always buy exactly twelve eggs?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘She’s been doing it for years.’ Later that day, an elderly delivery driver overheard her saying to another customer, “Twelve eggs is just right—one for each grandkid!” The story spread around town, and everyone started buying exactly twelve eggs whenever they saw her. It became their little secret, a quirky tradition in Giant Eagle.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the checkout counter and asked the cashier, 'Why do you always smile so widely when scanning those boxes of cereal?' The cashier replied with a twinkle in her eye, ‘Sir, each box tells me a different story—some are full of sugary adventures, others hold nutritious secrets.’ The old man nodded wisely before asking, ‘And what tales does that bag of potato chips tell?’ With a knowing smile, she answered, ‘They whisper about late-night cravings!’
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Giant Eagle’s loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he peeked through the open door—and saw rows of cans on the shelves singing along in perfect harmony. The delivery driver watched in amazement as the cans swayed gently to the rhythm. Smiling, he decided to join them, humming along and tapping his feet. Just then, an elderly cashier emerged from behind the counter, shook her head with a smile, and said, ‘Oh, those old-timey can songs always bring out the best in people.’
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Giant Eagle’s loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he heard someone whispering behind him. Turning around, he saw no one but felt certain those words were meant for him: ‘Don’t forget to check the bottom shelf.’ Curious now, the driver bent down and peered under the boxes. To his surprise, there lay a bag of free samples—obviously overlooked by someone earlier that day. With a smile, he thought, ‘Whoever left it must be a regular.’ And so began Giant Eagle’s secret policy: leaving little surprises for their late-night heroes.
