Hy-Vee Grocery Store
What people are saying
Hy-Vee, Inc. is an employee-owned chain of supermarkets in the Midwestern and Southern United States, with more than 280 locations and headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa. Departments: Bakery, Fast & Fresh, Floral, Market Grille, Pharmacy, Salad Bar, Starbucks and Wine & Spirits. We found everything we needed, but it did take a little more time to figure it all out as we are from out of town and do not shop there consistently. I like that Hy-Vee Liquors is attached to the main store and that the wine and beer selection is well stocked. The staff here is amazing and always ready to help. The food selection is great, fruits and veggies are fresh, the meat is good. Overall, we are very satisfied with this store. Service options: Curbside pickup, No-contact delivery, Delivery, In-store pickup, In-store shopping, Same-day delivery.
This was the best experience we have ever had in a grocery store! We are planning a party and we went to the bakery first to order a custom cake and Deb from the bakery is an absolute treasure- she was fun, friendly, and knowledgeable and had our whole order done in a matter of minutes! We were blown away! Then we had to ask for directions to some of our shopping and all of the employees we spoke to were friendly. Finally we stopped at the floral shop and we didn't know necessarily exactly what we were looking for but in speaking to Shauna, she gave us options and even threw together a sample bouquet for us so we could see what we were ordering and we were so impressed- so perfect! Thank you Hyvee!
Buying two Mrs. G salads.. Wishing that they had some freshly made lettuce or maybe shrimp salads? But HV is a good store for many things.
Armed Guard, Rotten Food, High Prices The primary customer base at this store are elderly folks on a fixed income. Despite this, Albert Lea HyVee recently skyrocketed their prices and used the proceeds to hire a balding man in body armor to stand near the potatoes with a loaded gun. It’s common at other HyVees to see the security help put carts back in place or load groceries for older customers, but this one stands around on his phone. Why he’s here is unclear, unless the intention is to portray Albert Lea as some sort of pseudo-Wild West fantasy where you shop for rotten groceries at risk of whatever the armed man would do to you if he ever looks up from his phone. Whether you’re shopping for fly-infested pastries (photo attached), moldy figs (photo attached), inexplicably dried-up citrus (photo attached), open package meat (photo attached), or any of their other expired, past-due, or “open box” products, make sure to consider Albert Lea HyVee! We’ve directed our business and our local community groups to stop doing business here over concerns with food quality and safety, exorbitant prices, and general discomfort with the weird rent-a-cop. I’d suggest the reader do the same.
Great grocery store! We were visiting from out of town and stopped for supplies. They had everything we needed. I stopped there by myself to grab a quick lunch from their Asian eatery, and it was great! Well organized and well maintained store. Lots of parking.
