New Urbandale Hy-Vee Opens Tuesday; Ribbon Cutting Set for 9 A.M.

Shoppers ready to check out the new Urbandale Hy-Vee store -- said to be the largest and most innovative in the chain -- should be in place Tuesday morning.

The store will celebrate its opening with a ribbon-cutting event by the Urbandale Chamberof Commerce at 9 a.m. The store is located at 8701 Douglas Ave.

Members of the Urbandale Chamber got a sneak peek at the new store last week, eating dinner in the new Market Fresh Grille –- a full-service restaurant featuring signature dishes prepared by Hy-Vee chefs, as well as a bar offering favorite wines and more than 65 different craft beers.

Other “firsts” at Hy-Vee’s new store include authentic Italian gelato, a sushi bar, a wood-fired stone pizza oven, a breakfast bar, and a housewares department with demonstration area, according to a company news release.

The store director is Josh Asche.
