If you didn\u2019t get a chance to see the world\u2019s largest rubber duck<\/a> during its return trip to Pittsburgh, don\u2019t fret \u2014 Giant Eagle\u2019s<\/a> got a Giant Buggy.<\/p>\n

The street-legal, large-scale shopping cart started cruising around the region on Tuesday, visiting iconic sites such Mount Washington, PNC Park and Rialto Street. It will be parked Downtown at PPG Plaza from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday for photo ops, games and giveaways.<\/p>\n

The unique vehicle (which can be operated by anyone with a valid driver\u2019s license) gets up to 25 miles to the gallon. While not specifically designed for the local grocery store chain, the six-passenger Giant Buggy has branded signage, flags and driver uniforms as it navigates the city\u2019s busiest roads, bridges and tunnels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not have plans to make it a permanent part of Giant Eagle, but we have been met with such a positive response from the community that this might not be the last time you see the Giant Buggy in the \u2018Burgh,\u201d says public relations manager Jannah Drexler.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the Giant Buggy can cart around that big anthropomorphic Pop-Tart<\/a> everyone\u2019s been talking about.\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"See the large-scale, motorized shopping cart at PPG Plaza during the NFL Draft.
