Hy-Vee's Downtown Des Moines Store Undergoes Renovation and Adjusts Hours
Hy-Vee's decision to change the downtown Des Moines store hours to 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. has left customers frustrated and raised concerns among city officials about potential violations of the development agreement, which specified operating hours from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. The move has sparked worries among downtown residents and business owners, who view a full-service grocery store with convenient hours as crucial for the community. The abrupt change in hours has prompted customers to rethink their shopping habits and has led to an investigation by the city council to assess the impact on the previously agreed-upon incentives.
