I left HyVee a 18 months ago and hasn’t be inside one since. Last weekend I was at a HyVee store in Omaha. The store was totally trashed. There was trash all over the the floor throughout the store. The merchandise was terrible. I see that basin must be gone now too. They had a shoe rack up now. That whole part of the store looks lost. Just a bunch of junk. They need to merchandise the old basin and clothing section. Looks like they are having a garage sale of junk. Where is the pride in your store? Could be that they have cut labor so bad now that the store look like sh-t. Maybe the store director isn’t giving the right direction. You can tell just by walking into a store that they not what they used to be. Maybe they have lost all of their experience and it showing. I would strongly encourage Jeremy Goash to walk the Omaha market stores! I’m fact he should probably walk all of his big market stores.

You must have visited the store at 180th and Pacific. Its a dump. Poorly run, understaffed, out of stock, and difficult to shop, because of all the freight on the floor. The parking lot looks like the site where they could have filmed the moon landing, Very dangerous. Good news is they are investing in putting a Whalburgers in the place. That will help everything!
Hyvee is sinking ship. What they dont realize is turn over rate of 10 to 20 year employees is at all time high. They dont care when you quit. Your just a number. They do care when sales decline and profits. Just because i quit doesnt mean i dont need to choose a grocery store. There last on my list. 1 high prices 2 poor service 3 how i treated as employee last 2 years there. My entire extended family dont shop there anymore. Before we all did. Small dollars in big picture but how many ex employees is this the same story
Directors are so pressured to have good P&L. Department manager are pressured also. It’s common practice at HyVee to directors and dept manager to lie on P&L reports. They fluff inventory results all the time at store level.
HyVee leadership have forgotten that HyVee was built at store level and at the hands of its employees. Burn the ship is right lol. The ship is sinking and now it’s total chaos. When the CEO and his staff are blaming everyone and coming up with a new idea every week trying to figure how to stay afloat. That sounds like chaos to me. Those that can lead will only post videos and won’t do live Q and A with the entire company. 90,000 employees might have a better idea that just tow guys at the top. How about HyVee hire a third party company to do an employees survey and to see how they do. A lot of companies will hire 3rd parties to conduct a survey on any question you want answered.
It’s just a matter of time
I love to see how bad it is
Every department man anger will fluff the inventory to show a profit
Time is ticking
Wat goes around comes around
Remember March 2020
It’s our payback
I just keep cashing my checks and continue to laugh
30 years ,that’s fine ,I worked hard for my money
Hire more homosexuals that might help
Lol
Try it all
It’s going down fast
Hold on tight
HyVee has cut their labor so deep. That it is really affecting the stores on everything. If HyVee was running an NFL franchise and was looking to cut labor. They would only have 11 players playing both sides of the ball with no bench help. They are asking store to run labor that tight. They still expect to win but we all know you can’t win games with only 11 players on the rooster because you want to cut cost.
Gretna store will be real nice for about a year or two then the lack of labor will make the store look worn out and dirty. Store should be real profitable unless they price themselves so high customers will shop somewhere else. If I was running that store I would keep my prices very competitive and build your customer count up and be like #9 and 10. I’m sure they will over charge for everything and wonder why their customer count is so low.
The big Grenta store will be interesting
I’m sure we will see at least one or more stores close overtime in Omaha
It’s company wide. HyVee store are starting remind me of the last few years of sears stores. Store were just cluttered with bad product and product that didn’t even make sense in sears stores. Looks like HyVee is past its prime.
