Midwestern grocer Hy-Vee plans to build an 8,880 square foot convenience store that will offer groceries, produce, prepared foods and a Starbucks Coffee location, as well as fuel service, according to the St Paul Pioneer-Press. The location will be twice the size of a typical c-store and will be the first of this format for Hy-Vee. Hy-Vee currently operates 16 convenience stores and 23 supermarkets in Minnesota. The company entered the Twin Cities market two years ago and currently has eight locations in the area.
