Hy-Vee Grocery Store

I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but I feel like I need to say something about my last several experiences here. I really do like Hy-Vee. It’s a good store with nice people and some decent deals. However, over the last 2-3 months there’s been a 15-20 minute wait every time I get groceries. There are several self checkout lanes that I think I’ve only ever seen open once in the last 3 months. They used to be open all the time. This wouldn’t be a problem if there were normal lines open, but there’s only ever 1-2. When the self checkout IS open, it’s one person running several of them. They should be taking one of the cashiers and having them run the self checkout lines, which would keep things running much smoother. Again, this has nothing to do with the employees who are always pleasant, but management needs to figure out the wait times.

Found exactly what I was looking for and good some great deals on fresh meat to smoke this summer. Ribs, brisket, and tenderloins. Saved about 100 bucks

Some unique things but not worth the price even with the savers card this place is FAR too over priced. I'll stick to Aldi and get two carts of groceries for what half off one costs us here. $2-3 bucks more an item,sometimes more. I just can't justify it even though it's right by our house I'll go across town to avoid this money pit.

These people are the best ever. The store is super clean and always stocked. I love my Hy-Vee folks.

My biggest issue with this Hy-Vee is that there is constantly expired food and drinks on the shelf. One week my daughter wanted juice, we went through every Minute Maid juice in the coolers and every single one was expired. I’ve found boxes of chickpea pasta that were months past their expiration date. Each time, I have pointed this out to employees but they never seem to do anything about it. In the pasta instance, I literally took all of that expired pasta off the shelf and brought it to an employee just to see them restock it while I finished shopping. I’ve started driving an extra 45 minutes to go to the Hy-bee in Mankato or Rochester.

Watching 2 yr old twins for about 1.5 hrs and entertained them in the produce dept. They liked seeing the huge inflatable of a scarecrow! Service staff in restaurant was very attentive to my needs when I needed milk for their bottles.

Went to the fairgrounds for a flea market today! I just love going to this!! So much fun! Lots of people there with so many things some were there to show off their items and some were there to make really great deals! I had a wonderful time!

I've been going to the hy-vee here in Owatonna and in Faribault. Every time I've gone to both of these hy-vees the kitchen management and staff have had such horrible attitude issues of arguing amongst themselves and with other employees that work there, it kinda reflects onto the customers and takes away from the quality of the food that is served there which is absolutely 😝 gross 😝. I really think the store management needs to look into this and make some definite changes to the kitchen management. I've also been tempted to call the BBB and depth of MN health on them in regards to this stuff

No self check outs. ONE line open. I’m not waiting 15 minutes to check out for $12 worth of stuff. I won’t be back. Wasting my time.

Clean and friendly, not from the area nor the state, but the workers at the registers and at the meat market were wonderful and made us feel at home for the brief stop in

It's usually upbeat and fun and most the employees are pretty great and they have really good food and I love their seafood and meat Department. They are however fairly expensive. depending on what I'm getting I will go to fairway or Walmart first for what I know is cheaper and then only Hy-Vee for if I have coupons or things are on sale or simply can't find it for anywhere else any cheaper. When I was an employee and got 10% discount it was much better and seem like that was more how price is should have been all along. But still management for the most part is really great also and it just is not exactly the best time for where I worked which was in home shopping and I started a few months before the first lockdown from the pandemic. One from super slow and usually getting out right on time if not early to insane busy all the time and always trying to call more people to come in on their day off and it just got to be ridiculous and too stressful for a part-time just above minimum wage but not living wage. There's usually opportunity for advancement if you are willing to start more than likely part-time and work your way up. And they have a 401k that's matched even for part-timers! It's a great company and it's a lot higher quality than a lot of places. Unfortunately it's prices are a little higher than I would like but it's hard to compete with stores like Walmart as far as prices go. But they do make up for it in service and quality. Walmart has the worst service out there, and for the most part it's low quality. I never buy meat at walmart!

Great service. Always fresh fruit and the meat is fantastic. I also love all the deals they have when I go in. I love this hyvee I don’t go anywhere else. I drive 30 minutes just to go to this hyvee

I had to wait with 10 items in a massive line because you evidently won't open self check out unless you have a cashier. You put the lanes in. Use them or remove them. This is pathetic and the customer service person I inquired with did not show any concern.

High quality grocery store in Owatonna. People are able to recieve the COVID vaccine right at the pharmacy provided inside the store. I was able to get all the groceries needed with a wide selection of products! The staff is what made my experience even better. They were extremely helpful while being able to look for certain items. The parking at my time of the visit on a Saturday afternoon was wide open with multiple close spots available. While checking out my groceries, the cashier was super kind and was very easy to strike up a small conversation with while my items were getting rung up. The wait for the checkout lines was at zero minutes because of the great ability of the cashiers to keep all lines moving. There was also all of the safety protocols present for the COVID-19 to allow customers and employees to feel safe. Everybody shopping in this store were complying with every COVID-19 protocol the store set out and clearly states as you walk in. There were also multiple spacing protocols and physical barriers around the more high traffic areas. The cleanliness of the store was very great as well along with sanitizing checkout areas before the next person. Overall, I will definitely be stopping back to this Hy-Vee when I am in the area and need something quick! This is an easy five star grocery store, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!

My family and I visit this location very often, and each time it's easy and organized items are always restocked and available. I usually find very nice seasonal items from local farmers. I would absolutely recommend 👌

I stopped buying steaks at the meat counter because your prices have gotten out of hand. You’re selling Choice tenderloin (8 oz) for $24.99 - that comes out to $49.98 a pound! For Choice! That’s ridiculous. Even it were Prime that would be way over priced.

BRING BACK THE CASHIERS!. I do not want to spend 3 times as long checking myself out in self checkout while 4 to 5 employees stand up in the front watching me struggle as they twiddle their thumbs cuz they have nothing better to do. BRING BACK THE CASHIERS!

I had shopped there for years and years the customer service and staff had always gone above and beyond very nice and helpful to the customers that is up until a few months ago the top store manager is certainly trying I believe his name is Justin but it seems although some of the staff even managerial staff such as somebody I encountered a few times by the name of Elizabeth have really made the store and shopping experience too stressful and that's not something anyone should have to deal with when shopping for there groceries so I am taking my business elsewhere and I'm done shopping at this store.

It's getting ridiculous when store workers stand there, and most self checkout is not even open and lines building up. No point in having them if you're not going to let us use them. And out of the dozens of times, I think I've only NOT had to ask for assistance.I don't need your excuses for why they're not open anymore. Just leave them open!And if you're curious, I can send you a news article link to where even workers are starting to complain about this.
