Patch got a tour of the store to find out what makes it different from Giant Eagle and other discount grocery stores.
"Always fresh, but not real fancy" is the way John Tedesco, senior vice president of merchandising, likes to describe the new Good Cents grocery store opening Sunday in Ross Towne Center. The doors at the 7215 McKnight Road store open at 7 a.m. and a ribbon cutting is scheduled for 8 a.m. But unlike its next-door competitor, Bottom Dollar Foods, there will be no giveaways to entice customers into the store. "We've found in the past that customers just want to get inside and shop," he said.

"Our Low Price Lock program will help Giant Eagle customers manage through this uncertainty during the holiday season, and make it easier to plan gatherings and budget-friendly meals with prices on many popular everyday and seasonal items locked, or in some cases reduced.
