Giant Eagle plans to close five supermarkets and four GetGo locations in Ohio, Maryland and in Altoona, the O’Hara-based grocer said.
Three supermarkets and one GetGo are located in central Ohio; two supermarkets and one GetGo are located in northeastern Ohio. All of these locations will close between Feb. 4 and March 4, the company said.
GetGo locations at 100 West Plank Road in Altoona and 1700 West Seventh Street in Frederick, Md., are expected to close at the end of business on Jan. 17.
Meanwhile, the company is preparing for the spring opening of its Millcreek Mall supermarket in Erie, according to spokesman Dick Roberts.
Giant Eagle will transition services and workers from its nearby locations at 7200 Peach Street and 2877 West 26th Street, resulting in the stores’ eventual closures once the new Giant Eagle opens, according to the company. A GetGo on West 26th Street is also scheduled to close in the coming weeks, according to the company.
