GetGo began as Cross Roads convenience stores and gas stations throughout the Pennsylvania area. Giant Eagle also had their own gas stations, a few with attached convenience stores, starting in 2001. In 2003, Giant Eagle acquired nearly all the Cross Roads gas stations and convenience stores from Guttman Oil, who owned Cross Roads.
In 2004, Giant Eagle acquired several Shell gas stations in Ohio that were close to Giant Eagle stores. Gas stations and Cross Roads locations were changed to the GetGo names in 2005.
After these acquisitions, GetGo has built the remainder of the company from the ground up, other than the recent acquisition in late 2018 of the 56 Indiana based convenience stores Rickers. Guttman oil still supplies the chain with its gas and oil products.
The company introduced a fuel perks program in 2007 where customers can save ten cents per gallon for every $50 spent. In addition to the food stores and gas stations, some locations also have WetGo car washes.
In May 2019, the company announced that they were going to offer a variety of CBD based products in their Giant Eagle and GetGo locations.
To compete with Amazon, GetGo and Giant Eagle announced that customers would soon be able to take their purchases and walk out the door using the app on their mobile phone for payment.
In 2017, GetGo partnered with Uber Eats to allow for delivery service of their food and drink items. The company currently has 250 GetGo locations in 5 states.
In October 2023, the company announced that it was profitable for the second year in a row with revenue surging by more than 300%.
Headquarters are located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
