CLEVELAND — Giant Eagle will soon be offering customers an alternative to paper bags when they check out at stores throughout Cuyahoga County.
Starting the week of May 13, Giant Eagle will be introducing a new reusable bag option alongside paper bags at its locations, including Market District stores, in Cuyahoga County. These new bags will be available at no charge to customers.
"After hearing feedback from our customers that they were interested in a bag option that would help them more effectively transport heavier items, we sourced a new fully washable reusable fabric bag option for our stores," Giant Eagle spokesperson Jannah Jablonowski told 3News in a statement.
Once the new bags are in circulation, Jablonowski says Giant Eagle will be encouraging its customers "to incorporate the fabric bags into their reusable bag collection and to utilize reusable shopping bags whenever they shop with us."
