Hy-Vee plans to repurpose two grocery stores and close two others in early 2022. All employees effected will be offered positions with the same pay and benefits across the company’s other stores in each respective market.
The following stores will be ceasing retail operations:
The Englewood Hy-Vee store, located n Kansas City, Missouri, will close at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 1, 2022. The location will be transitioned to a Wall to Wall Wine and Spirits location in the coming months. The current Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh convenience store located at this site will remain open.
The Kiwanis Avenue Hy-Vee store, located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, will close at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 1, 2022. This site will be renovated to become a non-retail site by the company.

All full- and part-time employees at each location will have the opportunity to transition to comparable positions at other Hy-Vee stores in the area.
Customers will be notified verbally and by signage posted throughout the store. Hy-Vee Aisles Online pick up services at these locations will cease on Monday, Dec. 6; however, Aisles Online delivery options for customers served by these stores will still be available and fulfilled by a nearby Hy-Vee location.
Pharmacy customers will receive a letter informing them that their prescriptions will be transferred to a nearby Hy-Vee Pharmacy, or a pharmacy of their choosing.
