Hy-Vee Market When you can’t beat them Join them

Hy-Vee Inc. the Grocery store; has Market Grille in-store restaurants at six stores in the West Des Moines, Iowa, metropolitan area grocery stores for those who may not know. In order to drive sales Hy-Vee will adopt the restaurant sales platform ‘food delivery’ for lunch and dinner according to Steven Johnson, Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions®.

The new platform adds to a click-and-collect option for the restaurants, Hy-Vee said. To access delivery service, customers download the Hy-Vee Market Grille app, enter their address and, if delivery is available, it will show a delivery option for ordering.

Nate Stewart, executive vice president of perishables at West Des Moines-based Hy-Vee stated “We know customers are busy and are looking for fast, fresh and delicious mealtime solutions, and now we can bring our family friendly Hy-Vee Market Grille menu right to their doorsteps,” “We’re excited to build on our curbside-to-go option and offer even more convenience through our delivery service.”
