"Police Collaboration Leads to Reduced Hours at Downtown Hy-Vee Amid Crime Concerns"

Des Moines police are collaborating with Hy-Vee to address the crime issue at its downtown Court Avenue store, which has experienced over 200 calls for service in the past six months, leading to increased loitering and theft. The store's decision to close at 6 p.m. may violate its agreement with the city, and both parties are working to resolve this. While the store cites slow business post-pandemic, the focus is now on addressing crime, with police planning a joint effort with Hy-Vee's security. City leaders are also discussing the impact of the store's reduced hours on their agreement, with some advocating for maintaining full service.

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.

Iowa Companies Flocking to Bigger Cities: Fareway Joins the Trend

Fareway, a grocery store chain, is following the footsteps of other Iowa companies by moving its headquarters from Boone to the Des Moines metro area.

Other Iowa companies that have made similar moves include Kum & Go, Landus Cooperative, Winnebago, and Bomgaars. However, some companies like Pella Windows & Doors and Vermeer Corp. have chosen to remain in their original small-town locations.
