LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Grocery chain Hy-Vee says it is expanding into the southeastern U.S. by opening up their first location in Kentucky.
The employee-owned corporation announced they will set up shop in Louisville at SouthePointe Commons retail and lifestyle center on Bardstown Road.
“As Hy-Vee continues to grow and evolve, we have so much to offer consumers across the U.S. that we knew it was time to expand our footprint even further,” Randy Edeker, chairman and CEO of Hy-Vee, said in a news release. “As customers’ shopping habits change and their needs evolve, we have services and offerings that we believe will bring an entirely new retail experience to those in Kentucky.”
Hy-Vee officials said they have secured 12-acres with plans calling for a 150,000-square-foot store which is tentatively set to open in 2023.
The grocer already operates 285 stores across eight midwestern states.
Hy-Vee also plans to open up a location in Indiana, but that has not yet been announced.
