Whole Foods? Trader Joes? Specialty Store?

hyvee.gifNone of the above. Welcome the newest tenant to Sheridan Village, Hy-Vee. It’s a nice grocery store, but… well… it’s a grocery store.

Not exciting.

    I am disappointed Whole Foods isn’t opening in Peoria, but there is a petition to bring this mega health food store to the River City:

    I wouldn’t be too upset, Hy-Vee is still 500% better than any Kroger store (no matter how impressive their olive bar or hummus selection is at their newer store on Knoxville).

    Could not agree more. It is just a grocery store. Tere one in Galesburg. If gas was a quarter a gallon, would not be worth the trip.

    Was in Whole Food in Lombard last week. Wish that was the new occupant.

    So which grocery store or two will be closing within 6 months of Hyvee opening?

    Kroger (pick a location)?
    Cubs on Knoxville?
    Schnucks?
    Sav-a-lot in ghetto-town?

    My bet for the first casulty, Ing’s Chinese. HyVee has surprisingly good Chinese takeout. I hope I am wrong.

    My vote: Cubs on Knoxville.

    I don’t think Hy-Vee is going to influence the closing of Cub on Knoxville. It has been doomed for some time now.

    I stopped there the other night. That store reminds me of some market-test store that Cub built to see if there would be enough business to put in a full-size store.

    IF the HyVee is going into Sheridan Village - my vote is on the Save-A-Lot in Peoria Heights (is that what they’re calling it lately, Ghetto Town?).

    Never seen a HyVee - where to they come from? The name sounds like a chemical to me.

    Very, very bummed about no Whole Foods. They’d be freakin’ mobbed if they did open, IMHO.

    They’re based out of Iowa. They are nice stores, but still…
