Hy-Vee

Nothing bad really to say. I was introduced to Hyvee since moving here to Omaha. I liked the produce section at this location. It’s larger than the other Hyvees that I have been to. Layout was also slightly different. Only thing that was noticeably missing was Kombucha. I normally pick it up at the Hyvee location near my apartment, but this location didn’t have it!

I would like to say I am not someone who likes to post bad reviews. For me to take the time to write this, is only because every time I leave this particular Hy-​Vee location, I tell myself that this is the last time I will go there. I understand they are centrally located, & have a high volume of customers daily — but they never seem to have what I am looking for. Which is weird because sometimes they do, I can never bank on them for sure to have what I need. It’s frustrating to stop here, and have to make a second stop somewhere else just to complete the ingredients for a meal. I really like the Hy-​Vee located off of 90^th & Center, and will take the time to drive there to do my full grocery shopping there on the weekends.

Hy-​Vee Aisles Online is the best delivery service ever invented! Order your groceries on your laptop and they bring it to your door. Delivery is free with $ 100 worth purchased. You pick the time when you want your groceries to arrive and they will call you if they are running late. Also, if they are out of stock on a certain item, they will contact you with a close substitute and make sure that’s OK with you.
I was talking to the delivery guy and there are only 7 people signed up so far. I was surprised; this is certainly going to catch on and quick! I heard a story that a customer sang for the delivery people when they showed up. I can see why because getting your groceries this way saves a lot of time. Also, you can create lists so you don’t have to start from scratch every time you shop. You save money as well because you aren’t wandering the aisles and getting items you don’t really need; cha-​ching!

This is my least favorite Hyvee in Omaha. I swear they never have any produce that I am looking for. I don’t think it helps that the store is super tiny compared to other locations. I think it needs some serious updating and have more of the great Hyvee amenities that we’re all missing out on.

Aside from ALDI and Trader Joe, I do most of my shopping at this full service Hy Vee location. They have a bank, red box, dry cleaning, floral, bakery, catering — the list goes on and on. I especially like their meat counter and frequently purchase whatever is on sale that week. The Amana Beef is very high quality and the staff are always prompt, courteous, and willing to answer questions. My nieces and nephew’s birthday cakes usually come from here — they are tasty, cute and moist. I’ve done business with their catering, deli and floral departments with no problem or complaint. A perk of this location is the café area. I meet friends there for breakfast or lunch every few weeks or so and we really like the large booths where we can visit fairly privately and uninterrupted. Breakfasts and salad bar are great! This location does not have postal service but only because the Saddle Creek station is right next door. Hy Vee fuel saver card is a nice bonus, too. Has the reputation of being pricier than some other stores but the consumer should look for sales.

I love this Hy-​Vee! This is where we do the majority of our grocery shopping. Before moving to this side of town, we used to frequent Baker’s, which I really didn’t like. What I love about this Hy-​Vee is that they typically have everything I need, it’s brightly lit, organized, and the employees are always really helpful! The produce is typically top notch as well, which I think is the most important factor for me. Sure, you are going to spend a few more bucks here than you will at Baker’s, but I got over that pretty quick. I can typically get in and get out with minimal hassle, which is always appreciated at the grocery store!

Great selection of goods and centrally located.
Love the wine and spirits selection.
A little bit of everything is available and we often look for the specials that will allow us to get gas at the Hy-​Vee gas pumps for a reduced cost. Really like that.
Store is usually clean and it is very nice to have a branch of SAC Federal Credit Union inside as well as an Medical Clinic inside.
Only drawback is that prices tend to be a bit higher as compared to similar products from Target and Aldi.
Really worthwhile to shop the specials to get the most bang for your buck

I would say that of the Hyvees in town I like this one the best.
I do most of my shopping in the health food section and my big complaint that prevents me from giving them 5 stars is the tiny health market. If you look at the other hyvees in town they’re very lacking.
That being said the people here are VERY nice to me. I call up to ask about products and they are very fast to look them up. They help me find items and it’s not hard to find an employee to ask. They never complain or seem upset when you ask them for help either which a big thing to me.
Price wise yes you’re not going to get aldis or walmart prices but I believe they can be very nicely priced, especially the sales. I can save a lot of money on the sales compared to walmart!
MOST importantly the produce is super fresh and I know my family members think the meat is good. Although I’m not a big fan of it.
In the past I appreciated the bike lock ups also, and I was never worried it would be stolen.
Oh and I appreciate their proper cleaning of snow and ice in their parking lot, especially this morning.

It’s a Hy-​Vee, you’ve seen one then you’ve seen them all (with some outliers). This one is a good one too… If you’re looking to buy groceries or pick up a prescription.
I wouldn’t necessarily recommend any of the prepared food items (pizza, Chinese food, salads, etc).
But for groceries it’s just fine.

Had the clerk at the express lane criticize my purchasing choices. Listen here you troll — if you want to express your opinions on what other people purchase start a blog. Otherwise ring my items up and move on. A smile in every aisle? This guy was a jerk.

Nice, clean store. A little bit smalelr than the average Hy-​Vee in my opinion… If you go later at night they have off duty police working. I wish this store and area didn’t go downhill at night. Not that it’s unsafe, I would still go.

This store has everything you need including a 24-​hour full service supermarket, a sit down buffet, First National Bank, Starbucks and even an adjacent gas station right outside.
That said, all these bells and whistles seem to be trying to hide what this store really is: a grocery store with totally average prices. Plus, the one-​stop-​shop idea leaves my feeling kind of claustrophobic and spiritually a bit numb. Personally, I’m a fan of having a few stores to go to on my weekly grocery shopping route, hitting up as many little shops as I can. (And if I’m not feeling that fancy or rich during any given week, I’ll just head to the closest grocery store by my house, which this Hy-​Vee is not.)

I’ve finally found a supermarket I like… ever since moving here it’s been one disappointment after another… this Hyvee was clean, it had stuff I wanted, even things I haven’t found in a long time, and I got out fairly quickly… prices are comparable to other grocery stores and they have a wide selection of things and what appears to be a pretty decent deli/​food court… I’ll totally be back

Great selection of wine and liquor. Alex in that section is especially helpful! Wonderful employee owned facility.

This is my main Hy-​Vee store. What I like is that the staff there is super friendly, and that makes the shopping experience so much better. The econo-​cheap grocery stores can be scary at times :)

So not use their floral dept!
I called ahead and told then that I needed to pick up a good size floral arrangement, they told me to come one in. I drove from downtown them, I went inside and said I needed a floral arrangement for $ 100.00. The lady behind the counter said you will have to come back in a few hours. I explained that I called an I couldn’t wait. Yes it was my fault for waiting the last minute. So I walked out. I guess my $ 100 wasn’t good enough.

I love this store, but the prices have gone up so much in the last year that I have to go to Walmart a lot

Overall, Hy-​Vee is a good supermarket chain. I especially appreciate how they are trying to push a healthy eating campaign by listing healthy recipes on their website and have a dietitian in every location. They also have the NuVal point system that ranks food choices on a spectrum depending on nutrition value — taking out the guesswork on how to make healthier food choices. I can attest to the quality of meat cuts and how the butchers will go out of their way to make custom cuts of meats. They also have a ton of demonstrations all the time with free samples (wine samples anyone?) They also have one of the best salad bars and prepared food around town for the convenience and value. Customer service is very helpful and courteous. Pharmacy is fast and efficient for the most part. The floral department makes absolutely beautiful arrangements.
The only con that I have about this location is that the produce does not always seem very fresh. Heads of romaine have seen better days and I’ve bought peaches that have gone bad by the next day. I shop here for my mainstream items, but now I purchase most of my produce from Trader Joes.
Overall, a solid grocery store in Midtown Omaha.
Tip: Bring in your own reusable bags and get 5 cents off the bill per bag

These are the worst stores in town. Their prices are high, they never have everything you want and EVERY single time the aisles are full of idiots who think they have to shop in groups and stop in the dead center of every aisle.
The pizza looks like frozen pizza, the Chinese food looks sticky and disgusting and the salad bar is far from fresh.
Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere.

I was born and raised in Bellevue, Nebraska. My mom had a charge account at Abe’s store. Abe Baker that is. Founder of Bakers Supermarkets. Mom and I would go to store and she would shop and I would always find a feather duster and «play» clean. I always ended up getting a candy bar or a chocolate milk from Al the long time store manager. That is how I remember a grocery store being.
Today I live near both a Bakers and HyVee. I do shop at Bakers as it is a little closer. But it is only for quick things normally. I shop «MY» HyVee for weekly and monthly shopping trips. Doug is one of the managers there who always says hello before I can even see him! The pharmacy staff is incredible and know me by name. It is the only place I by produce and is my choice location for fresh meats.
The store is NEVER dirty, even on the messiest winter day, it is always looking and smelling fresh. That does not happen by mistake. If I don’t see something I want Doug and the team will always see if they can get it.
I call it My HyVee because I feel that when I am there, most every employee treats me as if they built that store just for me. I get out of it what I put into it. Mike and the staff back in the deli and kitchen area always have a big smile and a wave for me too!
It makes shopping a bit more tolerant especially during bad weather and busy times.
