The Giant Eagle located on Route 6 East in Richmond is permanently closing down as the company says the Richmond location has been unprofitable. “We have made the unfortunate decision to close the Richmond Giant Eagle as the sales at this location have been way lower compared to the close by Staton Village Giant Eagle.” says Laura Karet, the CEO of Giant Eagle. Giant Eagle stated the store will close down permanently on July 1st and the remaining 83 employees will be transferred to the Giant Eagle in Staton Village. This news comes after the nearby Wegmans closed down due to also being unprofitable. Richmond residents weren’t surprised by the news and aren’t concerned by the loss of two grocery stores. “I mean it is sad that Giant Eagle is leaving but there is already one not far from this one in Staton Village, we also have the construction going on for the Richmond Towne Square shopping center which plans to bring a Walmart to the area.” says Tammy Fisher of Richmond.
