| - The nicest full-range grocery I've ever seen. With, well, a catch.
It's the flagship store for the Giant Eagle chain, and they're strongly competing against the Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, both less than a mile away. They stock a large number of quirky items you normally would only see at specialty stores, and the produce section is amazing. The employees in the produce section are also amazing, as many of them can spout off a recipe for any particular item they sell, with a story and a smile.
That said, the traffic in and out of this place is pretty rough, and the prices on random items are much higher than you might expect, while the average price of items are actually pretty darn good. Hummus is ridiculously expensive. Juice is cheap. Dunno.
Every time we go here, we come out highly stressed, which sucks. The parking lot, traffic, and lines all make for a bad time, so I shop elsewhere unless I really need something that other places don't stock.
