"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."
