Overview
- Giant Eagle debuted its standalone Pharmacy and Market on Virginia Avenue with a Thursday morning ribbon-cutting attended by company leaders and community members.
- The store offers prescription services alongside prepared foods, fresh produce, and grocery essentials in the converted Rite Aid space.
- Residents welcomed the reopening for its walkable convenience, with some former Rite Aid employees now working at the counters.
- Giant Eagle plans another opening at the former Rite Aid on Beaver Street in Sewickley on Nov. 13, with additional locations under evaluation.
- The expansion follows Giant Eagle’s acquisition of Rite Aid prescription files, a partnership with Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, and a renewed focus on pharmacies after selling its GetGo business.
