Giant Eagle

Two words: Salad bar. I only shop Giant Eagles for their salad bar (their prices are higher than were I normally frequent). This store gets good traffic, thus they keep the toppings refilled, from what I’ve observed. Oh, and they have MORE toppings, it seems, than the Pickerington location — a giant plus!
The parking lot’s huge. Makes for an easy in-​and-​out. A few times there’s been nobody behind the counter to check me out, but usually it doesn’t take long for someone to come out.

This is such an awesome grocery store. I have never been to Giant Eagle chain before, so I will definitely be on look out in the future. The rewards program is nothing short of terrific. You get about 20 cents off each gallon of gas with about a $ 50 purchase. There is a free vacuum cleaner for your car at their gas station. $ 12 car wash gets you another 50 cents off per gallon of gas.
As for the store itself, I like that they give out samples of food. This reminds me of Sam’s Club or Costco, without the membership requirement. The store is bigger than your average grocery store but smaller than Walmart. The quality and presentation of prepared foods and their specialty areas is on par with Whole Foods, minus the extravagant pricing. Organic food sections are in every food isle, labeled and quite large. There is a diverse section of alcoholic beverages, wines from every part of the world. They supposedly have wine sales on Sundays.
The store is very clean, well stocked shelves. Check out is effortless and quick. Pleasant atmosphere.

love it!

I agree that Giant Eagle is a great food store chain with a terrific rewards program. I also feel that the store in Lancaster is a stand out. It isn’t quite as large as the other Giant Eagle stores I have been to while visiting family in Columbus, but the overall quality and presentation of the prepared foods, seafood market and other specialty areas was just outstanding. I live in New Jersey when not in residence at Hideaway Hills, and I sincerely wish I had a food store of this caliber here. Well done, Giant Eagle!

This is such a great grocery store! The selection of gourmet and organic foods is very impressive. The store is always clean and well stocked. The rewards program is outstanding! I always end up earning 40 or 50 cents or more off on gas.
