Willoughby - Beachwood - Willoughby Hills - Mayfield Heights, these are the (4) Giant Eagle Stores that I have been in more then once and do the typical shopping trip for daily necessities. I know that some people can't stand when we try to differentiate between each but there are big differences from store to store. I shall NOT divulge too much into it, just take my word for it.
This specific location is 2nd on my list of GE stores. The produce outperforms others although the layout seems confusing to me. Meat section is strong and the overall store quality is good to great. I really don't like the layout of the whole store entirely and is bumper to bumper each time I've been there. I really don't like the tile in the entry way going through the produce because most times I'm strolling with a sleeping baby. Shelves / sale items are well stocked.
This location does sell booze. I believe its located in the front of the store. Parking is plentiful. I didn't notice the rotting fish smell.
If you really want to compare, take a trip to Willoughby Hills location, you'll soon find out why it's my 2nd choice. I'm really considering a change to Beachwood location only to maximize my shopping experience.
