I grew up only shopping at Hy-Vee but have become a full convert to Fareway. I don't care that they have less selection on some specialty items because free 2 day shipping has be covered for anything that isn't going to spoil. Also, Fareway will usually stock any item you ask for. One time I wrote an email to my local store about carrying kimchi and it was already there the next week that I shopped.
Also, I could've told you the whole market grill and clothing areas were going to fail. Who thinks to themselves, gee, what this place really needs is a half-assed sports bar that I have to battle grocery store parking to get into? Also, is it just me, or does every new Hy-Vee have terrible parking? It's like they took out parking spaces to accommodate upscale landscaping. If you go to one of the Ankeny stores you're going to do some walking because they're always jam packed.
