Giant Eagle

Third and last visit to Westerville Giant Eagle. The have 16 checkouts and all 3 times (early afternoon) only 2 were open. Fist time, lots of customers so I tried the express checkout lane and it didn’t work. Second and third time, lots of people, clerks chatting with customers. We’d been waiting in line and A «traffic director» asked if people had 20 items or less and checked them out ahead of those with more items. I asked a clerk at the pharmacy about something and she said, «around the corner.» No more trips there for me to many groceries to choose from. I’ll go to the one on 23. If theres a long line, they’ll
Open a checkout plus the pharmacy people are far far more helpful.

This Giant Eagle is so disappointing. The organic section in produce keeps shrinking every year. I’d be surprised if they have 15 organic vegetables total. The biggest disappointment for me is that they keep increasing the number of unmanned checkout lines. Now about 90% of the lines are self-​service. Ridiculous. This causes the lines to lengthen because customers can’t get the checkout computers to work properly. Plus, for any alcohol purchase a clerk has to come check your ID (so much for reduced manpower). Because of this particular store, I have a bad impression of the entire Giant Eagle brand. I’m sure the other Giant Eagle stores are using these same «genius» cost-​cutting measures.

I love Giant Eagle. The store is consistently clean and well stocked. The staff is friendly and very very helpful. I love that we get money off of our gas after we spend every $ 50. The prices are higher than say Kroger or Meijer but I have always found what I’ve needed. If I can’t find it someone will always kindly take me to the aisle to find it. And a big shout out to the cashier Doug… he helped me quite a bit the other night and it was highly appreciated.

I still like going to Giant Eagle… mainly for the kids club. However, they have started to tighten up their shifts of sitters for the kids club, so there have now been a few times that I have gone and no one is available in there. Not cool when you have a kid who is really looking forward to going to the kids club and a mommy who is hoping to get some shopping done sans kiddo. I do, however, prefer the fuel perks that they offer here… Plus, they have a good deal going on with new scripts where you get $ 1 in fuel perks for new scripts or transfers up to 4 scripts… So, you can essentially get a free tank of gas (or a free 30 gallons if you take your gas cans). That really beats any other store’s offers when it comes to filling or transferring scripts by far!

I would like to say first of all that I think its funny that this GE is getting a 5 star rating from me. BUT! it really is worth 5 stars, Mostly because of the deli/​dining section.
Everyday for lunch I go here because of their good prices as healthy choices.
This GE has a Salad bar that is pretty impressive. Has just about everything that you would want to have on your salad. Four different lettuce types, from spinach to ice burg and in between. It even has a section of fruit for a side. (yum!)
If salad isn’t your taste of the day, then move on to the «Deli Section» (I guess you would call it) Daily they have different items in the cooked section, from Mac and cheese, fried fish, fried chicken, grilled chicken, and every once and a while STEAK!!! Oh Sweet Suzie I love me some Steak. and for cheap too, I’m talking like 5 buck meals. GET ON IT! (sorry I’m getting worked up). They got sushi, turkey, grilled Salmon, roasted veggies, coleslaw, and potato salad.
It’s a solid deal, I can choose what I want, and if they don’t have it, then you can check the grocery part of the store… bc its a grocery store. if they don’t have it then its probably not food…
they have a soda fountain, microwave, and a sitting area where you can watch the TV, or read some magazines they have on a stand.
Check it if your trying to eat better, quicker and cheaper.

This is my go to spot for groceries. There is rarely something I can’t find here and the wine and beer selection are awesome. Plus, I love my Giant Eagle card for gas points!

I never shop at Giant Eagle — their prices are always higher than Kroger — but I do hit ‘em up for their salad bar!
Since work has me traveling to different suburbs of Columbus, this GE is my go-​to store when in Westerville. Same fresh salad bar as all the other GEs — consistant and tasty.

This review is about their pharmacy… avoid it if you can, they are all rude and act as if its a real chore to serve you. I went there once and will not be going back again. I did talk to the manager about the issue and he seemed concerned and was friendly but that was it, he didn’t seem t say he would do anything about it or give me a reason to come back.

Big fan. Great people in their bakery — a great option for kid’s birthday cakes and/​or cupcakes. Will order special items for you if you want. Well laid-​out and organized. Addition of the Huntington Bank makes it insanely convenient.

Hooray! A ²⁴⁄₇ location store by my new house! This is great for someone like myself, who is usually out the door before 6:30am. I have a tendency to forget important things, but with a ²⁴⁄₇ store I can go anytime! It is fantastic!
This Giant Eagle is a bit nicer than the ones I’ve been to in Dublin (Avery Murifield/​Bethel) and I’ve found that the produce is a bit fresher here. However, sometimes the produce does have a limited selection (ie. they didn’t have fresh bunches of dill here). Their bakery is the BEST (get cakes here versus Kroger… you wont be disappointed!) and I often buy baked goods for my fiancé’s sweet tooth.
They have a very large wine and beer section, though they are no where near each other in the store. The wine is close to the produce, while the beer is closer to the pharmacy.
The meat/​poultry/​fish department is a little small for my liking, but I always find good prices. I don’t often buy massive amounts of meat, but week-​to-​week I can usually get exactly what I need!
Everything else is pretty standard! My one word of advice is be careful in the parking lot… there are a lot of crosswalks that say «STOP» on the ground but there are no actual stop signs. Many other drivers tend to ignore this. Personally, I like to come here either really really early or really really late to avoid the large shopping crowds!
