CLEVELAND, Ohio — If you’re tired of less-than-sturdy paper bags, yo𓆏u’re in luck. Giant Eagle will start offering new reusable grocery bags for customers next Monday that are made of fabric, and free.
The change is coming because ofꦆ feedback from customers, said Giant Eagle spokesperson Jannah Jablonowski. She said shoppers were looking for a sturdier option to hold heavier items, like a gallon of milk.
Jablonowski said these new fabric bags will be available alongside the paper bags at no cost to customers. Giant Eagle removed the cost for papers bags last fall. The chain tr♎ansitioned away from single-use plastic♏ bags in Cuyahoga County back in 2019.
The newꦍ bags can be washed and reused, and Giant Eagle is encouraging customers to use them just like their traditional reusable bags, by saving them and bringing them back for each sඣhopping trip.
There are 24 C💦uyahoga County Giant Eagle and Market District locations. Giant Eagle has more than 470 sto𝄹res throughout western Pennsylvania, Ohio, northern West Virginia, Maryland and Indiana.
