Emmetsburg, IA (KICD)– Residents of Emmetsburg will soon see a new grocery option in town as Hy-Vee prepares to expand to the city’s west side.
Christina Gayman is the Director of Public Relations for the West Des Moines based company. She tells KICD News the new location in the former home of the Shopko Hometown Store will be what is known as a Hy-Vee Dollar Fresh.
Gayman says the Emmetsburg Dollar Fresh idea began earlier this year when Hy-Vee acquired the pharmacy from Shopko.
While no official opening date for the Emmetsburg Hy-Vee Dollar Fresh has been determined, Gayman says the new location is expected to be operating by the end of this year.
