Summary
Kroger is snapping up Giant Eagle for $1.65 billion, reigniting a decades-old rivalry that began in 1928 when Kroger first bought the original Eagle Grocery Company. Giant Eagle, deeply rooted in Pittsburgh’s identity and family-owned since its founding by four Eastern European Jewish immigrants, now faces a new chapter under Kroger’s ownership — while keeping its beloved brand name. The deal marks Kroger’s return to Pittsburgh after leaving in 1984, and raises questions about preserving Giant Eagle’s cherished traditions, especially those tied to Jewish heritage and Passover.
