Giant Eagle has taken over the Village Carryout liquor store on 5th just west of Olentangy. I imagine they'll run the liquor store out of there until the Grandview Yard store opens, then move the liquor license into the new store. They were getting ready to do flooring work when I was in there on Saturday night.

Whoa, that is major news! I wonder if they take the Giant Eagle rewards card. I could get discounts on my gas while getting lit.

They've been spending $1M+ to buy local agencies and their spirits retail license and then transferring the licenses to their stores to increase traffic.

Checked out the carry-out on my way home from work and I must say I was impressed! I never really thought the Village Carryout was in bad condition, but their wine selection was really sad and the store was somewhat grungy. Now, the floors have all been redone and they had about 3 different work-crews busy fixing all kinds of things. And the best part is - they take credit cards now! I wonder if they will have Sunday sales; I believe that particular license allows for them, but when I asked the previous owner about it he said he just chose not to open on Sundays.
I have to assume they'll move the license over to the new store once they open, but I did find it somewhat humorous that despite the fact they will likely only be open at that location for less than a year, someone from corporate probably walked through and had a minor heart attack re: "brand image" and ordered the renovations...

Biked past yesterday. The parking lot is poured. Surprised at how tremendously much land is still there undeveloped from third to the new apartments down by Buckeye cafe. Lots of acres still to go.Yeah, lots of land over there that still needs to be turned into parking lots. ;)

From what I have heard the new GE is looking to be a one stop shop for the greater area. The booze department (beer, wine, liquor) will have a selection meant to compete with shopping options in the SN and downtown (north market, hills market, etc). I assume that will mean Oyo vodka will be added to my grocery list.
There is a lot of convenience added to the equation.

As far as selection and price the Short North Kroger seems to currently win out in the area. Giant Eagle tends to be a little pricier and I am not won over by gas perks as much as other people who drive more may be.
Where the new Giant Eagle may win me over is an attached liquor section (with Kroger you have to go to a separate out building) and (I will get flamed for writing this) maybe an easier parking lot to drive into and out of. The SN Kroger is a dream to walk to and very integrated into the urban fabric, but as far as driving - its parking lot is kind of chaos.

If you're looking for booze selection, I can't recommend Weiland's enough. I don't know how it will compare to Kroger or Giant Eagle, but Adam in the spirits side has done a lot to bring in interesting stuff to Columbus and Ohio as a whole. I can only think that Giant Eagle and Kroger just simply keep the shelves stocked without an Adam to go the extra smile for you. It's a matter of convenience and what you'd like though.

The Giant Eagle on Sawmill recently remodeled, with the liquor department in its own area that can be closed off. But they had to barricade the doors at the front because of grab-and-run theft.
Now that I think of it, that might be why the liquor at Hills Market is in the back corner farthest from the doors.

It will be nice to have everything all in one place. With all of the amenities it will be hard to justify keeping the Neil Ave one open. I hope an independent takes that over.

But why go to an independent when you can have everything all in one place? ;)Neil Ave is an awesome location to walk to with all the dense housing nearby and people hanging out in Goodale Park. It is a great location for a small independent, maybe the best location in the city. Unfortunately for me it is not within walking distance. If I am getting into a car, I want to do it as few times as possible.
