At least you don't have to dress up to shop at HyVee like they do at Walmart...
Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
I’ve learned that HyVee has so much money they can take a stab at all the trends and predicted future trends and it doesn’t matter.
I always thought grocery stores treated their space like casinos did - “How can we make the most money per square foot” type of mentality. The shoe sections, over the top candy aisles, and cookware displays cannot be making the company any money.
Yes, meat, but also booze. And you don't have to shoplift it, just load up your cart and roll it out the door. You can be gone before much can happen besides "Sir you have to pay for that".
Our local HyVee, it would take about 8 people to overwhelm them and probably steal $10k worth of product in 5 minutes. They usually have an off-duty cop working security (ie standing around to make people think twice) evenings and nights. The HyVee security is probably meant to look the same as cops but cheaper.

Unless you are trying to pick up something more than Cheerios, then you might dress for success.
Why the hell does a grocery store have aTV network to begin with? They can run full seasons of the Bachelor in a damn store, but can't get my online order right without messing up 4 of the items...
It's a slippery slope. When you have a company like Hy-Vee that just keeps making poor mistake after poor mistake and then passing those costs onto the consumer then that becomes a huge problem. I've been a very loyal HyVee shopper for years but I've stopped going there except for certain things. I'll shopped their adds but other than that I'm done. Iowans have been crazy loyal to HyVee despite the fact that we are the ones paying for all of their failed expansions and new ideas but that seems to be changing.
I do miss the Hy-Vee label beer. Whatever happened to that? It was pretty decent and cheap.
I think the Hy-Vee kitchens are good and I do like Wahlburgers. Honestly, there is no better place to buy craft beer than Hy-Vee (at least in Ankeny/Des Moines). The other crap I can do without.

This is statistically impossible. He had to have at least 2 unless it was a very strange marriage.
Whoops, I guess I am late on this. Should have read the rest of the thread...
SunMart?! Were there any anywhere else but Muscatine? PS: I worked at the first Hy-Vee there. The one that was part of the mall (not the second one that was in the mall parking lot). Hy-Vee and SunMart always fought it out for business.
Same in CR. They were always clean and useful. The locations here were purchased by someone who turned them all into "Fas Fuel" which sounds as dumb as it reads. Most of them went under as they all seem to attract degenerates and drug dealers. I wouldn't stop to get gas there let alone go inside.
