Hy-Vee-What's up?

That's where I discovered him. My same friend who watches Love After Lockup is a big YMH fan (I sort of am too, but just got waaaay behind on it this year) and he decided to look into the guy. Once he found out that Tapley's website referenced Osage, he had me start researching (being a native of the area). Sure enough, he owns two houses in Osage (per Mitchell County Assessor's website) and he drives around town in a van with a Third Eagle bumper sticker.
Another buddy of mine (who lives in Osage) literally crosses paths with him on the local nature trail on a regular basis.

Depending on whether or not you consider Arlington, Cedar Rapids & Marion to be "North Iowa", you also have a bachelor and two survivors up there.
Arlington counts. I have a hard time calling anything south of Highway 20 "northern" Iowa.
Well, you could look up a bull's ass to find out, but you could also just ask the t-bone.
Question, what town and is it a regular Hy-Vee or one of the newer version which do not have full service departments and gets product from another near Hy-Vee? I know they now have a number of types of stores with different services.
Well then, just the bachelor. And he's pretty notorious...or was at one time...
Convenience alone won't cut it though. Without accuracy you'll be just another, you know, that Midwest grocery store chain that hires teenagers (who have never shopped for groceries) to fill orders. (I know that was a run-on sentence.)
I have friends still in my hometown, Charles City. They say that any bakery items sold in the store come from the Hy-Vee in Mason City. Nothing made fresh on site anymore apparently.
HyVee does weird things like 5 for $25, steaks/chops where its a cost per.
No thanks, I want to pay for meat by weight.
The one near me has two legit butchers that cut down whole sides of beef and what not. No idea if that's the case everywhere but its awesome to have that 10 minutes away.
Now hamburger and some of that stuff comes prepackaged for the most part unless you get the 'Our own' that they still grind in store.
I went into the Aldis in Grimes a few months ago and their produce was trash, might have to give them a 2nd chance.
Not going to say the town, it is regular store in a small town and the store has been here for decades. It is not a HyVee Fresh and had a full service meat counter until they recently fired the butchers including a 64 year old who had worked there since high school.
