A standalone Giant Eagle Pharmacy is opening in Mt. Washington on Thursday.
The Pittsburgh-based grocer made the announcement official on Wednesday morning.
The location is at 211 Virginia Avenue, the former site of the Rite Aid store.
In addition to prescriptions, the Giant Eagle Pharmacy will also offer health, beauty and wellness items, along with foods, including prepared foods, fresh produce and other “grocery essentials.”
Hours are Monday – Friday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The pharmacy is open until 7 p.m. Monday – Friday, 5 p.m. on Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday.
To celebrate the opening, Giant Eagle will make a $2,500 donation to the Mt. Washington Community Development Corporation and the Pirate Parrot will be there from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.
Another standalone Giant Eagle Pharmacy is scheduled to open in Sewickley on November 13.
“We are thrilled to be opening this standalone Giant Eagle Pharmacy to meet the health, wellness and fresh foods needs of the Mt. Washington community,” said Bill Artman, Giant Eagle President and CEO. “We understood that the closure of the Mt. Washington Rite Aid created a need for access to convenient care in Mt. Washington, and we are happy to show up for the community to close that gap.”
