All in the Wegmans Family

[Evergrey]

I disagree with "sucks"... excluding Market District... Giant Eagle is basically an average to slightly above-average large-scale regional supermarket like Giant or Kroger... it's certainly better than a Tops, Shop n Save, Buehler's (NE Ohio) or Weis. However, Giant Eagle's locations are certainly of variable quality... some of the suburban stores (Robinson Twp., Homestead, Massillon Ohio) I would rate as "quite good"... and I like the cramped Squirrel Hill location as well... but some of the smaller, older urban stores downright suck... like Lawrenceville and East Allegheny. A store like the one on the South Side is basically very very average. I think Giant Eagle is basically on a trend of upgrading its brand. The Centre Ave. Market District is certainly not a "speciality" store... it's just like a Wegmans... has everything you need plus a whole bunch of fancy stuff to waste money on. It even has a cheese cave.
