Mobile Market at the Bethany Center

May 5, 2022 | Announcement

Giant Eagle Mobile Market truck at the Bethany Center

The Giant Eagle Mobile Market is coming to Homewood! Every Thursday from 2:30 to 4:30 PM, you can purchase fresh produce, dairy, meet, and poultry items at the same price as in the store. Other products, like non-perishable pantry items, are also available! Shoppers can pay with debit cards, credit cards, checks, or SNAP. Cash is not accepted.

Without a grocery store nearby, residents of Homewood have to travel outside of our community to buy healthy, affordable food. The Giant Eagle Mobile Market's commitment to a weekly presence in the neighborhood is a step in the right direction, improving equity by reducing the burden of travel in order to access nutritional food options.
