JUNKYARD EXPLORER: Closed Conneaut Giant Eagle

The Conneaut Giant Eagle store apparently began life as a Fazio's, in the 1970's. One of my co-workers at Rini-Rego Supermarkets remembered being sent there (far away from Cleveland) as punishment. Years later, the business was owned by Jerry Mortimer. Its closing remains something of a mystery. The location (right off of I-90 at Route 7) would appear to be ideal for a store in Ohio's northeastern corner. Various plans have developed to place another grocer in the space, but none have been successful. So the empty shell sits quietly... waiting for someone to revive its past glory.
