But according to Some locals who worked and shopped there they seem to think otherwise.
In fact they think they closed the store a couple years after the robbery because it was Haunted .
The reason it was haunted leads back to an armed robbery in 1986 where a lady clerk was killed.
during the evening shift .
I have not been able to find the newspaper article but I remember it. The North Side Community was in shock.
Giant Eagle announced the new store expansion a few months after the murder. I do not know if crime was ever solved I seem to remember an off duty Pittsburgh Police Officer managed to shoot one of the suspects .
But after the murder strange things started going on in the store. Lights flashing and turning on and off plus doors opening and closing by them selves and strange noises.
One shopper supposedly saw a full body apparition of the clerk in an aisle way.
A day care opened and closed after a couple years in the old store front which was completely remodeled and again according to locals because of the haunting .
The kids supposedly saw ghostly images in the windows which terrified the staff.
which had their own stories.
Although the building now serves as a private daycare for Allegheny General Hospital Employees and I have not heard of the current tenants have experienced any paranormal activity.
Is this a case of vivid imaginations and wild stories ? maybe then again maybe there is something to it.
