Giant Eagle Trims 75 Positions In Cost Cutting Measure

Giant Eagle is trimming 75 positions, mostly at the O'Hara grocer's corporate offices, in a move that a company spokesman described as part of a continuing effort to cut costs and operate efficiently.

Employees were notified this week, said Rob Borella, senior director of corporate communications, in response to a query about the layoffs.

"It's certainly something that we treat seriously," he said.

Giant Eagle employs 36,000 people in four states and about 11,000 in Western Pennsylvania, a mix of part-time and full-time workers.
