Heck no. It is nothing more then a smoke screen. Even with the “So Called” price drops the prices are still higher at Giant Eagle. If you haven’t tried a competitor I recommend you do. You will be amazed at the price difference.

I used to shop at one of the Market District stores and it looks horrible. Just a mess. One of the managers blamed it on the quality of employees they hire.
I disagree. I live near a corporate Giant Eagle and it is definitely going down hill. I can see they are not fixing things, more and more garbage around the store. I assume they are trying to cut cost and save money since the fiscal year is coming to an end. Giant Eagle is definitely not what it was 15yrs ago.
If your Giant Eagle looks like a shitt hole, then you must live in a shitt hole area....or it's a franchise store. 9/10 Giant Eagle's are very clean and have employees around that can help you. Good luck finding that at Aldi's.
Giant Eagle is really going down hill. And the prices are OUTRAGEOUS!
I’m not sure what Giant Eagle you shop at but my local Giant Eagle is a s*%t hole. Garbage cans outside are always overflowing. The produce department has trash all over the floor at all hours of the day. The cooler doors look like they haven’t been cleaned in years. The cooler with eggs have broken eggs on the shelves. The credit card scanners at the self scans are attached with tape. The pens for the credit card scanners are tied on with string. The glass on the self scanners haven’t been cleaned in years. They have sections of the sales floor broken and instead of getting it fixed the just put a yellow cone over the spot. They never have carts inside the store. When employees block the shelves they just move product to make it look full and then they do the order they aren’t ordering the proper products. Employees complain out loud how they hate dealing with customers. This is why I have to pay higher prices?????
Giant Eagle should be priced higher that their competitors. They offer you clean stores with more than 2 people working in a location. Their meat dept is the cleanest by far. If you are looking for just cheap prices, enjoy your garbage names at Aldi. Giant Eagle can't compete on price with walmart, costco etc. get real, they don't have the buying power.
That being said, laura's prices are WAY too high and they need to come down. They can't price match the big boys, but they need to come down and BA is working on it. You can't change it overnight.
They’ve been doing this price lock for years now every summer and it still hasn’t gotten them anywhere. It’s not going to move them up any further on that Forbe’s list they keep aimlessly aiming for.
Typically what they do is raise the price. Then they wait roughly 30 days and do a second increase. After another 30 days the put it back to the original increase price and say it’s on sale…
I think it's funny that they RAISE the price first and then put in a price lock. You're not saving anything.
It was recently reported that Walmart has taken over the lead in Pittsburgh when it comes to market shares.. THANKS DADDY’S DAUGHTER!
Probably won't save the company. The most valuable thing Giant Eagle has is there market share which is shrinking. The only reason anyone would buy the company is for the market share.
Greed destroyed this company
