Like many of the reviewers I have a love/hate relationship with this location. All the merchandise is shoehorned into a tiny store. There seems to be no logic for where items are placed - it seems like wherever they had shelf/freezer space, that's where the merchandise went. This causes some departments to be in two different sections of the store. It's super annoying, even for someone like me who's shopped there for 3 or 4 years.
The parking is a nightmare. I take the bus but as a pedestrian, you basically take your life into your hands just crossing the lot to get to the store. It's about as bad as the lot at Whole Foods.
Because of the store's size and because it's the fancier "Market District", this location is heavy on the organic/specialty foods and some of the "regular" merchandise is more truncated. So if you go to a regular-sized, non MD Giant Eagle, they may not stock your type of pasta sauce, for example.
Nothing in this store is easy. It's cramped and crowded--I have yet to find a good time of day to go (except maybe during a Steelers game). Then there are the customers. A lot of students who look like they've never stepped foot in a grocery store before: literally standing in front of the shelves with their mouths hanging open, for minutes at a time. They sometimes won't/can't/don't move when they're standing right in front of what you're trying to get.
I go there because it's convenient and close to Aldi's, so I can hit both stores in one trip. But it's not the best Giant Eagle location. I prefer the Homestead or Waterworks locations.
