Giant Eagle Market District

I love this Giant Eagle, it has everything! The store is very clean and well organized. There is a lot of variety to their stock and it’s always fresh. There’s even a Starbucks inside and many great hot food choices if you decide to sit down for a meal. It may seem a little pricey, but if you check out their weekly sales (eg buy one streak get one free), plus their $ 0.20 off fuel perks for every $ 50 spent or for every $ 50 gift card you buy, it’s really not that expensive. Only reason why I deducted a star is because every time I use the self checkout machine, at least one item will return with an error and I’d have to stand around waiting for someone to fix it.

Wow! I was in the area and needed to pick-​up some items before heading home. This is not my usual store, but I have come to appreciate the Giant Eagle stores more. This is a premier store! Great variety. Clean. Good layout. It reminded me of a Whole Foods, but then some. Prices are competitive and even more so when you use the Get Go rewards. I was able to find the items I needed without much difficulty. Staff were helpful particularly when I had trouble finding an item in the pharmacy area. Plenty of parking spaces available and easy to access.

Giant Eagle Market District stores are the crème del a crème to me. They offer up as many if not more choices up and down every aisle as Whole Foods Market (which I enjoy — yes) while giving buyers and shoppers their GET-​GO discounts on gas. Yeah, some say Krogers and Turkey Hill are a better combo… but if you’re not getting cheaper gas somewhere by giving your money to a store like Giant Eagle… shamefu. Anyway,… I really like Giant Eagle’s salad bar, hot plate foods and their sit-​down areas for eating. EXAMPLE: On a Monday I had a large salad with a piece of grilled tuna with a side at a local restaurant. STICKER SHOCK! $ 27 (oh, that darn diet-​coke charge). Tuesday I had salisbury steak, egg noodles, sauteed broccoli and cauliflower along with a small salad. $ 10.65 total. Hey kids! Wake the heck up. With tip my restaurant bill was $ 33. I can do Giant Eagle for ¹⁄₃ the cost and get hot food and a nice place to sit. The Perimeter Loop store is clean and huge; efficient layout too with the exception of the drugs/​personal care area. But that doesn’t sway me from 5-​stars of good good good for Giant Eagle.

Best store for groceries — it’s rightly sized for quick in and out. It may be slightly pricey but if u also get gas from get go, and use coupons that they frequently send in mail then it kinda evens out.
Also a great place to get amazing phở!

I really like that they made this a GE Marketplace as well, however it is lacking a bit in variety of choices. It’s definitely not as good as the Kingsdale Marketplace, but it is definitely better than a lot of grocery stores.
The layout of the store is much better than what it used to be. The area with the Starbucks is really nice and there’s enough seating to make it feel like a real café, or a place you can eat a meal if you are on a break from work.
The store is always clean and the staff is always really friendly. I do wish they had a bit more choice, though reading the other reviews it looks like I need to try the pizza and stir fry stations for a meal. However the salad bar and hot bar are not as impressive as I wish they would be. They remind more more of a regular GE and not a Marketplace.
Good location, good layout, good grocery store.

Love this store. Great selection of EVERYTHING (especially the alcohol and beauty section).
What i love in particular about this store is the food choices. Besides Star Bucks, there is a Phở/​Stir Fry station; Pizza/​Subs station etc. The Phở is OK, not bad for $ 5.99 (the kind of beef they used is not the right one… but oh well
Cashiers are very friendly too.

This is a good Giant Eagle, very clean, always feel like your getting the freshest groceries on the market. Great market district location.

This review is the for the PHo and the taste of the General Tso’s chicken. Which were both AWESOME.
I really really like the Phở here. 5.99 a bowl and tastes good.
The price of the General Tso’s chicken which goes by the pound is a very heavy thing is not so much. 3.50 for 2 heavy pieces that tasted awesome.
I think this may be a new lunch spot. I need to try that pizza… it looked really good and cooked in oven right infront of you.

I went here for the first time today because I was looking for a Giant Eagle Market District in my area. The building is located in a great area with lots of shops and restaurants that I didn’t get a chance to check out but would recommend someone doing so.
With that said, this Giant Eagle Market District isn’t nearly as nice as the other Market District in the Columbus area (I’ve also posted a review for) if you take into consideration its size and variety of options in products they offer.
There’s a Starbucks inside if you’re looking or a pick-​me-​up as well as a dry cleaning center and day care center inside.

It is ok as they have switched it to the Market District. It was not as nice as the Kingsdale area which is what I am comparing it to. The seating area by the Starbucks area is pretty nice which allows for a nice work area. They have a nice pizza making station but the salad and hot bar seemed to be a little minimal to me. Although, I am be comparing it to Whole Foods and Kingsdale.
The place is nice and clean but the Mens restroom was missing a trash can. I found that to be very odd. I hope the attendant had just taken it out and was returning it soon.

I come here all the time during my lunch break from work. Today happened to be their grand opening of the Market District. Now the store is very neatly organized.
Today they had the Cake Boss there, photo booths, samplings from most of the food departments with some live shows too. It’s too bad I couldn’t stay for all the excitement and to try all the different samples there. I was excited to have Starbucks samples! Also they had a happy hour on all different drinks with the grand opening.
I’m thinking this location is trying to be very similar to Giant Eagle’s Kingsdale location with this new look. I hope it works for them because the layout of the store looks a lot better now.

**review of only the liquor store**
Nice variety of spirits, no great deals
The actual store is under construction, a bit disorganized, products everywhere. The liquor store is right in the center.
The store front outside the actual liquor in the grocery section has a pretty large selections of wines and various mixers. Some craft beers. The staff is also very helpful with finding specific products.

Under construction at the moment. good variety of groceries. For me important they have a small section of gluten-​free products. Bread, power bars, cereals etc.

So, as several of you know, I moved to Dublin about 7 months ago from Hilliard, and while several aspects of my quality of life have dramatically improved (i.e. not getting the windows to my car busted out, not having my house firebombed, etc.), I feel like certain parts have greatly suffered.
For instance, the pizza options have certainly gone down the tubes. As have the «big box» department store choices. And believe it or not, the grocery store options stink to high heaven. Never, while I was living in Felony Central, did I think I would ever miss my local Giant Eagle (Hilliard-​Rome) and long for the day that we would be reunited.
The problem with the Dublin Giant Eagle is that it used to be a Big Bear store and was converted to a GE when BB went tits-​up. Now, as long time Columbusites know, you can always, ALWAYS tell the stores that used to be Big Bears. They just aren’t the same as «original» Giant Eagle stores.
For instance, one thing that greatly bugs me about these conversions is that most of the frozen items are in those low bins, where you have to bend over and practically reach into a meat locker, getting a mean THO in the process. Also, it’s hard to really peruse the selection, because your midsection is rapidly turning to ice. I always have to stand back and peek over the edge of the bin to see what I want, and then make a break for it and dive in and quickly grab the desired item. This routine is repeated approximately 15 times on every visit as I gather up my frozen food for the month. Not enjoyable in any sense.
Also, the store feels incredibly claustrophobic, as everything is sort of jammed together. It doesn’t seem like much planning was put into what goes in each aisle. I once walked around for 15 minutes looking for applesauce, and finally found it in the salad dressing aisle. The signs above each aisle are not accurate in the least.
In addition, the aisles are bisected by another main aisle that runs down the center of the store. So really, each aisle becomes two aisles, separated by a main drag, along which people barrel through, almost clattering into your cart as you try to get from Cereal Alley to Cat Litter Boulevard. Whoever designed this setup was one sadistic bastard.
I have also found the produce section lacking, but this is really a storewide problem for Giant Eagle. The selection and quality is usually substandard — there is always a lot of pre-​packaged fruit, but not much in the way of fresh stuff. I guess I’m just spoiled by Whole Foods’ produce section, which is really the standard bearer for me.
Another annoyance is that this location simply doesn’t have enough U-​scan checkout lanes. I usually don’t have the time or energy to wait in a regular line behind Octomom who is buying groceries for the month, and has a stack of coupons the size of «The Stand (unabridged version).» I like to zip through the U-​scan at my own pace, yet this location only has 2 such lanes, and one is a 12-​items-​or-​less lane. Extremely frustrating, as I usually end up being forced to spend an even greater amount of time in here.
The main saving grace for this Giant Eagle (+1 star) is the on-​site State Liquor Store. Great selection, and I’ve made quite a few late night jaunts here to restock on fine spirits. There is a checkout counter in the store, so no need to mess with the nonsense of the regular checkout lines.
I’m forced to frequent this store, as it’s one of only a couple grocery shopping options in the area (and the nearby Kroger is even worse, if you can believe it), so I’ll likely be stuck with it. However, I can’t, in good conscience, recommend it to anyone but alcoholics.
