The rains and subsequent flooding that occurred on September 17th was an occurrence that Pittsburgh may not experience for another 100 years. The powerful forces of Mother Nature completely destroyed many homes and businesses in the Pittsburgh area. Included in this devastation was our Giant Eagle store in the Green Garden Shopping Plaza Which was engulfed in eight feet of water in a period of twenty-four hours. When the flood water receded, our newly remodeled store was totally destroyed.
On behalf of our entire Giant Eagle Team; our independent retailer, and especially our customers; we both express our sincere gratitude for your efforts, the reopening of our store took place on December 16th, amazingly only 90 days after the flood. It is people like you, with your compassion and commitment that have helped Giant Eagle to serve as an integral part of the Pittsburgh community.
We could not have done it without you.
