1918, three families—Goldstein/Shapira, Porter and Chait—built a series of small grocery stores that they called Eagle Grocery. They were successful, and the business grew steadily to 125 stores. In 1928, these three families sold Eagle Grocery to the Kroger Company. As part of their arrangement with Kroger, the families agreed to leave the grocery business for a period of three years.In the meantime, two families—Moravitz and Weizenbaum—built their own successful chain of grocery stores named OK Grocery. In 1931, the five families—Goldstein/Shapira, Porter, Chait, Moravitz, and Weizenbaum—combined forces to form Giant Eagle. Giant Eagle operated stores throughout Pittsburgh-area neighborhoods, and the chain grew steadily throughout the 30s and 40s, despite the desperate times of The Great Depression and World War II. From the 1950s onward, Giant Eagle was at the leading edge of modern supermarket innovation.The chain entered Ohio in the 1980s when it bought Youngstown wholesaler Tamarkin Co. and its Valu King stores that were eventually converted to the Giant Eagle name. Kent Ravenna Ohio stores were the first to be converted at that time later the Youngstown stores then got converted years later. Around the mid or late 1990s, The Giant Eagle chain later reached Cleveland by acquiring the Stop-n-Shop stores in the area. Stop-n-Shop stores were family owned and operated in different areas of Cleveland. For an example if a person lived in Parma, Ohio, they shopped at Rini/Rego, if a person lived in Garfield Heights, Ohio, they shopped at Reiders. The other suburbs shopped at Country Counter. The family operators of Stop-n-Shop formed a holding company named International Seaway Foods as the main umbrella for Stop-n-Shop. In 1998, Giant Eagle acquired the International Seaway Foods and converted the Stop-n-Shop Stores into Giant Eagle Stores. Giant Eagle also purchased or opened other Northeast Ohio stores outside the Stop-n-Shop area, such as the former Apples supermarkets in the nearby Akron, Ohio area.
