Giant Eagle has had a presence in Toledo for 13 years.
“Our decision to close these locations was made only after careful consideration, particularly given the impact on our Team Members and customers, and after significant efforts to differentiate these stores in the marketplace,” said a spokesperson for Giant Eagle.
Local reports have suggested Giant Eagle’s exit from the area is due to strong competition from Kroger and Meijer. However the company did not comment on this when questioned.
