A Wegmans in Pittsburgh?
It’s our Thursday food show! Giant Eagle is getting some new competition, and the hometown grocery chain is making some changes of its own. We’re getting lots of new restaurants, and one South Side institution is closing for good.
We always cite our sources:
- Wegmans is coming to the Pgh area! Ok fine, to Cranberry.
- Here are the deets on Giant Eagle’s “Deals for Days” program.
- Reddit loves to rag on Giant Eagle, and this is one of our favorite examples.
- And the Trib says Double Wide Grille is closing for real this time. RIP volcano.
- Check out our convo with Rafael Vencio here: How Amboy Experiments with Tropical Plants in Pgh
