Giant Eagle Selling Its GetGo Stores

PITTSBURGH, PA — In the most significant move in Western Pennsylvania convenience store history, Giant Eagle announced on Monday that it is selling all of its GetGo stores.

Couche-Tard, owners of the popular Circle K chain, is buying the approximately 300 GetGo locations in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland and Indiana. Couche-Tard on Monday also announced it had made an offer for the 7-Eleven convenience store and Speedway gas station chains, CNN reported.

"For Giant Eagle, this transition enables us to focus greater resources to enhance and grow our core supermarket and pharmacy businesses," a Giant Eagle release stated.

"The sale will strengthen Giant Eagle, better enabling us to prioritize investments and resources, further bolstering our position as a leading regional grocer and pharmacy with a well-known brand that delivers value for customers and team members."

Couche-Tard and Giant Eagle have agreed to keep and partner together on the myPerks loyalty program across Giant Eagle and GetGo locations, while exploring opportunities to expand the program.

Couche-Tard, a Canadian company, said it has agreed to retain all current GetGo employees.

Terms of the sale were not disclosed. The deal is expected to close in 2025.
