Abandoned Giant Eagle - Greenville, PA

- Abandoned Giant Eagle - Greenville, PA. Closed due to not making enough profit. Sounds pretty selfish of an excuse to do so. However with Walmart practically next door and an Aldi nearby, it's no wonder who won customers over. Giant Eagle is a Pittsburgh based grocery store chain who ran Kroger out of the Pittsburgh area and buys up old grocery store buildings or keeps their own so competitors don't move in. Now there is this empty building just taking up space when another business could move in and bring jobs to the area.

I was told by an employee at the Harbor Freight store in Hermitage that they were supposed to turn this into a Harbor Freight. But that was a while back. It was supposed to be open by now. Apparently it ain’t happening.
In the back of the building that looked like a huge generator. I am surprised they left that behind. Work for a huge grocery company in Canada and they do not even have those. When the power is out its panic time for managers in store.
This is the first of these abandoned building videos that hit home for me. In the 90’s, this was an absolute beehive of activity in Greenville (before Walmart and Aldi arrived). Incredible to see what it has become now.
Fascinating to see the old stores through the years and how they change.
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY FROM DETROIT, MICHIGAN!! 7:29
Breakerbox room had major, Resident evil ambiance
High prices drive customers away from your store
Bidenmonics is the blame
The Medina giant eagle may not last because meyers and acme coming in the area next year
Was this possibly a GOLDEN DAWN way back in the day?
They usually gut the stores when they close I been with a grocery chain for 22 years
Hey Wallie, Did you hear the great news that Wegmans is coming to Cranberry Township?
I heard there was talk about it happening. If it's written in stone that it's happening, I'm VERY excited! That's a GREAT store. And I'll will do my grocery shopping there when I can't get what I need at Aldi. That's awesome.
My sister worked for giant eagle in Washington pa in my area I love it when giant eagle closes since they’re expensive. I still hope eventually they close the one at city view center I went to when I was younger since my aunt is from the Cleveland area. Especially the one at city view center isn’t safe to stay open. And if they do hopefully they find good jobs elsewhere.
I love your shirt WallieB26 keep it up my guy
I Like Your Hendrick Motorsports shirt
Haven't seen a Giant Eagle that looks like that one. Great exploration wallie.
When I was a kid, this building was a Golden Dawn. There was no pharmacy back then. After Giant Eagle took over, they added an Iggle Video inside and we rented VHS movies all the time. Then the pharmacy and drive thru were added. Eventually the video store was taken out with the downfall of video rental stores like Blockbuster. Just FYI, there were a couple more grocery stores in town the same time as the Golden Dawn. Just over in the Greenville Plaza was Riverside Market (I think that was the name) as well as Murphy’s and Jamesway department stores. Down the street towards downtown next to the current Country Fair, there was a Valu King grocery store, Leans Bakery, a laundromat, Stull’s Refrigeration and another small pharmacy. Sort of a smaller plaza.
Downtown where the current Moose Club is now was once an IGA grocery store and I believe an A&P before that. This was all before Walmart and Aldi came to town. This would be in the 70’s-90’s time frame.
Hello Wally b26 was wondering when you and Nate are going to do a video together take care love your videos
Wow how ambitious thanks for sharing
Giant Eagle only has two locations in Maryland, and they're both in Frederick. There used to be one in Hagerstown, but it's long gone now!
That's what the problem is now the prices are high because of greed
Great shoutout to the Grove City Sheetz! That Giant Eagle was pretty run down compared to the other GEs in the franchise, which I think was the final “nail in the coffin,” so to speak.
Good ol' Snap On. The rent to own tool truck...
Used to pass through Greenville pa when I delivered parts for Shults ford. I had one customer out there. Rodgers Autobody who was nowhere near any other stop. If I got him, Grove city autobody and a shop in cranberry pa ( not cranberry twp) it was going to be a long day and I had no time for much else other then dropping parts and hauling ass to the next stop. If I got lucky I could get the route done with just enough time left to fill up the van with gas. Those days you could rack up 210 miles easy over a 6 hour route
I WANTED TO SEE YOUR CAR! You brought this on yourself... or, Well, more like I couldn't resist joking about it XD This store looks like a mess inside. Hopefully something better can come of it.
Building smells >> Walgreens all have the same unique smell.
Yeah That What I I’m Basically Asking For It. My Grandma Goes There And Gets Shut Down
You what pump😊
I enjoy your videos
I wonder if they keep actual giant eagles inside 🤔😂😳
Lol
In PA, that wouldn’t surprise me.
That’s your comment??? Wow. What a boring comment
Hm fr
@@jamiewhalen7804 OK, so? Who cares if it’s boring? It’s not a speech.
Fun fact, out of all 50 states 30 of them have a Greenville, the most famous one being in South Carolina
Giant Eagle definitely bought this building prior to opening this location. They didn't even have drive through pharmacies, which is a giveaway. My first job was at the Edinboro PA Giant Eagle, which closed a little while before I moved from there in Oct. '23. I also worked at the Girard Giant Eagle doing floor cleaning at night. The newest, at least that I know of, Erie County PA Giant Eagle was newly built and opened near the Millcreek Mall in Erie PA.
Giant Eagle and Kroger are not the same company. The family that started Kroger, along with families of other grocery companies, created Giant Eagle. This is on a page of Giant Eagle's website. Giant Eagle also has some locations that are not corporate locations. My first job was one of them, until they later became corporate.
Hey wallie...did you ever go to the Covered Bridge Pizza Shop in Andover??? They built it out of half a covered bridge, and the other half was made into a pizza ship up near Ashtabula.....
I have! I love that place! I haven't been there in quite a while so idk if they're still open or not but I sure as heck enjoyed my pizza last time I was there.
It's a bummer that Greenville residents won't get groceries besides WalMart and Aldi. They usually drive to Hermitage at Donofrio's. I work at Donofrio's Btw.
The reason Krogers left the Pittsburgh area is because the union went on strike. The union wanted more money, and Krogers said that if the union didn't accept their final offer that they would close all of the Pittsburgh area stores.
I think they had just built a brand new store in the north hills when that happened. Kinda sad😢
🎉🎉🎉nice vid Wally 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Cool vid!
Was this an old Red Foxx Foods or an IGA (Independent Groceries Alliance) before GE. This really looks like an old IGA or Red Foxx Foods.
I think this one might have been a GOLDEN DAWN.
Awesome 👌 video man
Sparkle is the Jernigan version of giant eagle I use to work for one
As always great video 👍
Eagle in Illinois had hardwood floors, core memories
You did a great job yet again! It sounds like Giant Eagle is a very greedy and overpriced company and that if I am every in Pa I should not Go there. The way you described them is How I feel about Fred Meyer(which is owned by kroger) They some extremely high prices, horrible sales and not very clean stores.:( I Like Albertsons Because yes they do have high prices they have great sales too and clean stores! It actually is a picture perfect day here in oregon for once(like pa, It likes to rains and rain and rain) and not stop:( We do need it though
Cool video
Happy Memorial Day Wallie
Cool Nice
For like a year and a half id pass this location on my way to and from school
Wallie, been watching your videos for a while now. I hear you ask many times why do small (mom and pop) businesses close. You talked about Giant Eagle closing because of lack of profits. As a small business owner, can I ask where you acquired your business degree? Running a successful business is not black and white. It isn't a simple thing like lowering costs. With products costing more, import/export costs, wages for staff, utilities cost rising, insurance, taxes and many other factors into running a business it isn't a simple answer. stores can lower costs but that would be done at a cost.
As a small business owner, I agree with you. Somebody told me that all my merchandise comes to me for free, I told them that the manufacturer gets the material for free.
WallieB, if Giant Eagle is more expensive, maybe they have better service. In Florida, Publix is the expensive supermarket with Winn-Dixie being a cheaper priced store. Publix has employees that will bring the groceries to your car. Publix, you can get special requests. Publix got the best subs...We accept the prices. Publix is also a clean store. Winn-Dixie is not as clean, but better prices
You're just getting a little exercise parking further away.others don't like it they don't have to watch it.😊
