PITTSBURGH — Bottom Dollar Food is planning to open its first seven stores in this market Jan. 26, the company said Friday, followed by another round of seven openings in Western Pennsylvania and Youngstown, Ohio, on Feb. 9.
The chain's parent company, Brussels-based Delhaize Group, introduced Bottom Dollar Food into the Philadelphia area last year and recently said it would focus on expanding its presence in Pennsylvania and Ohio, while shuttering or converting older — and often larger — stores in Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia.
The Pittsburgh-area openings will include appearances by for Pittsburgh Steelers players and private-label giveaways.

I was glad to see Bottom Dollar coming to pittsburgh. however all your stores are south and east of pittsburgh and none north of the city. what u need to know about pittsburgh is that the people in the south hills never come to north hills and the opposite is true or the north hills people go to south hills. this is just a fact of life here in pittsburgh.
of course i am from north hill so i will not be shopping at any bottom dollar any time soon. you have missed an entire area of shoppers that really need some competition for Giant Eagle.
i would suggest u look into a store somewhere in the north hills area because it is a windfall for bottom dollar just waiting to happen
SOOooooo far, I luv them! But I fear after the hoopla, they will be just another Community super? market.
SOOooooo, what's wrong with Community Market? I'm 73 and my parents were shopping there since I was twelve. I shop there all the time. It's full of bargains. No one is twisting your are to pay higher prices for food. Buy the sale items and move on to another bargain at another store. You'd be surprised how much money you can save. Competition is great.
