Giant Eagle Celebrates Grand Opening of New Westwood Store with Donations, Celebrities, and Jobs Drive

Giant Eagle, the supermarket chain with a significant presence across multiple states, has expanded its reach within Pittsburgh, opening a new branch in the Westwood neighborhood. This latest addition, situated on Noblestown Road, occupies the building that previously housed a Shop ‘n Save supermarket. The company marked the occasion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony as the doors swung open for customers today. According to

CBS News Pittsburgh

, this event featured a charitable gesture, as Giant Eagle contributed $10,000 to The Education Partnership and donated 100,000 pounds of food to local charity 412 Rescue.

In a gesture designed to draw attention and, perhaps, create loyalty among the community, the first influx of customers at the grand opening was welcomed with a “swag bag” containing $150 worth of products bundled with a $10 gift card. “We are thrilled to introduce our newest Giant Eagle to our Westwood neighbors — we have been hard at work over the past few months to bring this store to life, and we can’t wait to share it with the community,” Dan Donovan, a spokesperson for Giant Eagle, said in a statement detailed by

Audacy

. He further outlined the company’s vision: “We feel that we’ve curated a shopping experience to meet the needs of area guests, bringing together a combination of quality and value.”

The new grocery store is intensifying its appeal with a sweepstakes worth 25,000 perks—approximately a $500 value. Additionally, the retailer is hosting a weekend event featuring sports icons, including Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren and former Pittsburgh Penguin Tyler Kennedy. Former Pittsburgh Pirates player and current broadcaster Neil Walker will also make appearances. Such events are typical of Giant Eagle’s approach to community relations, weaving local celebrities into the fabric of their promotional activities.

Boasting over 470 stores across Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, and Indiana, Giant Eagle’s growth continues despite the divestiture of its GetGo convenience store locations earlier this year. With this recent shift in strategic focus, as the company’s CEO detailed, the brand has signaled an intent to strengthen and expand its core grocery business.
