Update: Every weekend through December 29th the NEW Market District in Green will be offering Food Sampling, 11am – 5pm!
Last Thursday I had the fun opportunity to hang out with some of my favorite NE Ohio blogger-friends and meet Tyler Florence (Food Network Celebrity of 18 yrs). We were invited there for the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Giant Eagle’s Market District Grand Opening in Green, Ohio!
*We were given some thank- you gifts for attending and covering the event in media, this is not a paid post and opinions are my own. I am also using one affiliate link.
We were treated to a tour of the huge NEW Market District department, a “meet and greet” discussion with Tyler – where cameras were rolling – and he signed copies of his cookbook Tyler Florence Fresh which were given to us as gifts. Giant Eagle also gave us a nice bag of Market District foods to try at home – yum! But let’s get back to the features at the NEW Market District department.
The Cafe inside is two-stories with FREE WiFi with an overlook of the store and has a coziness about it. You’ll find a great looking salad bar, yummy pizzas, a cotton-candy machine see my Instagram pics from that day 🙂 . There’s a great Demo area where I believe I was told Giant Eagle has cooking demos happening every day of the week.
In addition to all that they also have a really nice looking oriental eating area (picture here) and I tried some of the – I think it was, crab sushi and it was delish!
Other highlights: If you look closely at my pictures below you might be able to tell they have very expensive mushrooms in bulk – about $219.00 a pound I think. You can also fill your own bottle of specialty oil and vinegar and buy good salt like Pink Himalayan in bulk.
Oh yeah, and how about a pound of – rattlesnack or python meat? – in my pictures below.
Exotic fruit like Buddah’s Hand and Dragon Fruit (see pic here) ? Yep – Market District has it! Again, see my Instagram here for more pictures.

This has been my grocery store for 12 years and I have to say the expansion and all the changes have been exciting. And they are now open 24 hours. BUT, it is very frustrating that the parking lot is so small. Unless you go at off times, you may not find a parking space. It has happened to us many times. Scared to see what it will be like at the holidays!
I don’t know – but someone must be 🙂 . It’s a great place though. A mom could put her kid’s in the Eagle’s Nest, do a little shopping and meet a friend for coffee in the cafe while browsing the internet! ha! See how my mind works 😉 .
It looks great! Rattlesnake meat? Yikes! And I’ve heard they are selling Emu eggs. Who eats this stuff? LOL!
