Supplier Diversity

Supplier Diversity is Good for Our Business and Our Communities

A Message from Our Team

We only thrive when everyone in our community thrives, which is why we advocate for economic well-being for all.

Giant Eagle is committed to supporting diverse and historically underrepresented suppliers while offering a broader selection of products and services for our Guests.

By actively seeking out and building partnerships with more diverse suppliers, we leverage our buying power to invest in the growth and development of diverse businesses and therefore the economic well-being of the communities in which we operate.

Additionally, these partnerships help us improve our business by meeting the diverse needs of our Guests by enabling us to deliver a broader selection of the freshest and highest-quality products at a great value. Diverse partnerships provide innovation and enable a large company like ours to operate more effectively and efficiently.

We are continually focused on growing our Supplier Diversity program and look forward to learning about new opportunities with diverse businesses and community partners. If you are interested in becoming a supplier, please contact us via the links below.
