Hy-Vee Food Store

ID required for alcohol purchase because you can’t properly hire and train people to follow the rules. Now you want to shift the burden to me? I don’t think so.

This is THE best grocery store in St. Joseph! It’s clean, well lit and very well stocked. They have great weekly sales and offer a fuel-​saver card where you can earn $ off when you purchase various items. I like that they are stocked with just about any food item you need. The produce here is fresh and the area is AlWAYS clean and tidy. The employees are super helpful and always friendly. I shop here each week for fresh meat, produce, cheeses & deli foods. Their prices are a little higher on a few things but not everything & if you pay attention to the sales you can do great on your grocery bill. They have a fabulous health & organic section. They offer a drop off site for dry cleaning. Their coffee shop is s nice treat too!

Friendly staff, bright clean store, wonderful selection on health/​gluten free foods, large liquor selection that’s labeled nicely. Large GF section was refreshing to see.
Would we go again for everyday groceries? …probably not because prices seem to be quite high and we couldn’t get certain produce w/​o purchasing a entire bag (red potatoes).

I am very pleased with this grocery store. They have a wide selection of name brand stuff along with the hyvee brand that is comparable. I enjoy the Caribou coffee and I like their Chinese food. I usually make this my one stop for most grocery and cleaning and all around supplies.

This is a nice clean store, but I am becoming so exasperated by a seemingly intentional effort to over charge customers regarding weekly ads. In every single occasion in the past 2 years, I have had to correct register over charges for ad items. On one occasion the overcharges amounted to 33% of my total charge on about a $ 100 of groceries. It appears the store has made a policy to not enter many of advertised items. Most in store reductions are not in scanners at checkout either. Be sure to check your receipt at checkout you will likely find an overcharge. The checkout people cannot correct errors and the store forces you to go through a second customer checkout for a refund of just checked items. I am sure most customers don’t bother. In addition the store often put signs of low prices directly in front of similar items not on sale. Very deceptive and dishonest store in my opinion. I marked the store pricey because of systematic overcharging.

Thanks for addressing issues! I believe you are probably doing the best you can. Keep working to provide St. Jo customers with better quality produce because I know it is out there (c.f. Sam’s Club). I would encourage you to be in regular contact with Des Moines.

I just love the HyVee prepared food area. When I have no idea what I want I go there and it bails me out every time. I just look around. Burnt ends. Baked fish. Fried chicken. Chinese food. Pizza and calzones. Salads galore. All of it pretty tasty as well.

I really love this grocery store, we go to it even though Walmart is much closer! The fresh fruit and vegetable selection is always good and decently priced. I love the separate alcohol room that has everything you could need. Near that is several short rows of organic, gluten free, etc. items and a refrigerated section for it as well.
The service here is always awesome, if you ask where an item is they will walk you over to it without question.
