Hy-Vee has been in the food business for more than 80 years, with beginnings in Beaconsfield, IA as a small general store. Since then it has expanded into one of the top supermarket chains in the U.S, with more than 230 stores scattered throughout the Midwest. During its growth it has evolved into more than just a grocery store but has come to include a bakery, deli, coffee shop, buffet, and even gas station. In 2012, Hy-Vee decided to expand even further and join the restaurant scene by adding the Hy-Vee Market Grille and the Market Café. Both are full-service restaurants with the great food and great service Hy-Vee prides itself in. Now you’re probably thinking that the store has always had a restaurant, serving choices of Chinese cuisine, pizza, and even sushi. But the perk of the Market Grille and Market Cafe is that you will be able to sit down and order from an extensive menu while being served by a waiter or waitress, much like any other sit-down establishment. The first Market Grille opened in Urbandale, IA in August of 2012. Since then it has grown to include nearly 10 other locations throughout the Midwest. The Grille locations serve only dinner but also include a full service bar and a Sunday brunch. The Market Café was developed in 2013, with its first opening in Overland Park, KS. It now has more than 30 locations with a menu that includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All of the menu items are made to order and use only the freshest ingredients. They serve everything from eggs benedict to grilled seafood, choice steaks, pasta, soups, and a variety of sandwiches. For the time being only select Hy-Vee stores will include one of these full-service restaurants. However, as they gain popularity, customers can expect to see more and more of them popping up, giving them one more choice when it comes to lunch meetings or dinner outings. Check out the Hy-Vee Market Café and Hy-Vee Market Grille websites to see if there is a location near you or to find out more details about what is included on their menu.
