I'm removing the part under the loyalty program about the Altoona market featuring similar programs to fuelperks, yet not as successful. First of all because it lacks a source, and secondly, because I am actually from Altoona and see many other grocery stores with gas incentive programs with full gas pumps and parking lots.--[[User:TwistedArachnid|TwistedArachnid]] 21 November 2009 (UTC)

this page reads too much like a personal account with analogies etc... also, does anyone know where some of the oldest giant eagles were founded and if any of the original stores are still around today? 71.240.69.83 (talk) 21:38, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Their seems to be many citations missing in the section about energy conservation. I think it may need deleted unless it can be cited. Also about Getgo and their gas I am have heard its some small refinery that I can't recall the name and I couldnt provide a source so that information for now is kind of lost. --Theebayk1d (talk) 13:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What else do we need to do to clean up the article? I just fixed some grammar and added on a bit to every section. Still, it does need some work. The Fizzy Fuzzy 19:54, September 5, 2005 (UTC)


Does anyone have information on where GetGo gets there gas from? What gas supplier are they contracted with to acquire gas and resell? Their website is vague on this matter. MediaReport 13:09, 2 July, 2008 (UTC)

This page reads like an advertisement. It needs to read more objectively and could perhaps use some criticism of the company. A one-sided story doesn't sound very trustworthy. Interrogatrix 16:20, 1 September, 2008 (UTC)

The opening paragraph states that it was founded in 1918, however the infomration located in the box on the right side of the page says 1931. Which is correct?--Swprofile 17:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The official starting point for Giant Eagle is 1931. In 1918, three of the five future founders (Joe Goldstein, Joe Porter, and Ben Chait) of Giant Eagle started the Eagle Grocery chain, which they sold to the Kroger Company in 1925. The Giant Eagle name is a reference to this first chain. Starchivist (talk) 17:13, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Separate page for GetGo

I just inserted an infobox suggesting that we split the GetGo brand from the main Giant Eagle page and give it its own page. The GetGo article has been starting to get a little longer than it should be and it's already longer than a lot of convenience store articles. Any support for a split? Thanks!
