Giant Eagle Inc.
 PROFILE
With its talons firmly around western Pennsylvania, Giant Eagle is eyeing new territory to the west. The #1 food retailer in Pittsburgh, it operates more than 110 supermarkets (about 60,000 sq. ft. in size) and has more than 80 franchisees throughout western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and northern West Virginia. In addition to food, many Giant Eagle stores feature video rental, banking, photo processing, and ready-to-eat meals. The company became the #1 food seller in eastern Ohio through a 1997 acquisition, and now Giant Eagle is moving into central Ohio. Chairman and CEO David Shapira is the grandson of one of the five men who founded the company in 1931. The founders' families own Giant Eagle.
