Giant Eagle Convenience Division (GetGo)

GetGo, the convenience-store division of the Pittsburgh-based Giant Eagle supermarket chain, owns and operates stores in five states, primarily focused in the metropolitan areas of Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus and Indianapolis.

In 2021, Giant Eagle supermarkets and GetGo convenience-store locations began accepting PayPal and Venmo as forms of payment, becoming the first U.S. chains to offer customers the ability to use them at the register. The company also partnered with Grabango this year for frictionless and contactless checkout technology.

This year, the chain adopted Rational’s combi ovens, allowing the company to make changes to its ovens via WiFi from its headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pa. The company added Invenco G6 and G7 Pay-at-Pump terminals, iNFX retail microservices and Cloud Services management platform to its fuel pumps. GetGo also began replacing traditional cooler doors with digital smart screens with its Cooler Screens partnership.

GetGo opened its first store inside a sports facility, PPG Paints Arena, the home of the Pittsburg Penguins.

For benchmarking purposes, store counts are as of Jan. 1, 2022.
