Giant Eagle to convert Parkway Center store to curbside pickup, delivery only
Giant Eagle announced Friday that it will convert its Parkway Center Mall location near Green Tree into a curbside pickup center, allowing the grocery giant to increase pickup and delivery orders its employees fill.
“As we’ve been piloting creative solutions to increase our curbside pickup and delivery capacity, we have been very pleased with the results of our recent supermarket-to-pickup-center conversions in our other markets,” said Giant Eagle spokeswoman Jannah Jablonowski.
The Parkway Center location will close at 9 a.m. May 1 and shift to a curbside pickup-and-delivery operation May 3.
All payments will be processed online, according to Giant Eagle. Orders can be placed through the Giant Eagle app as well as its new ordering website, Shop.GiantEagle.com.
The in-store and walk-up pharmacies will remain open.
Employees at the Parkway Center store, at 1165 McKinney Lane in Pittsburgh’s Ridgemont neighborhood, will be able to work curbside or delivery positions, or transfer temporarily to a nearby location.
Those nearby locations will be prepping for increased in-store shopping as a result of the changeover, according to Giant Eagle.
