Yes yes I still feel very strongly about loving HyVee…read more TOP quality FRUITS and vegetables -- bananas especially tasty and last almost a full week BIG daily restocked selection of nice green generous sized fruit. LOVE love SUMO ORANGES - - my most favorite of all fruit. We lived last 5 years in Florida ( moved back to MN in January) and had incredible fruit / became enamored especially with the deep especially juicy rich flavor of the Sumo orange. There's nothing like them. Now can't eat other oranges- - nothing compares, highly addictive! Amazing with bananas and sweet pineapple cut up and eaten with 4 % milk fat cottage cheese with a generous teaspoon of mayo on top of the cottage cheese. Amazing! Fresh fruit and fresh veggies provide our bodies with the VERY best nutrients and vitamins of all other food groups. Steaming not boiling veggies also preserve the highest level of vitamins. ( Dad was a Prof of Biochemistry at a med school.). We are basically what we eat. Fresh meat fresh chicken fresh seafood cooked at home are the most nutritious way of eating . Vitamin A found in the greatest level in fresh apricots and beet green tops helps fight and prevent cancer. Lunds is a gorgeous store but way way too expensive for me. Target is a great option for super low prices but stock/ variety are VERY limited and fruits veggies are extremely limited/ manhandled a lot by customers. Flavor is lacking in potatoes yams and in a lot of Targets fruit which is picked when green. Target runs after the cheapest resource. Their quality is not great. Then CLEANLINESS is essential to me. HyVee aces this. I love the WIDE spacious aisles, the extremely high ceilings and non glaring softer lighting. Thus you have a calmer more relaxed ambiance - - rare today in grocery stores. I come EVERY week here. Their daily sales on beef chicken and pork in special cases, some seasoned thus ready to cook, are excellent FRESH QUALITY! GREAT SALE PRICES too. Their homemade giant variety of FRESH BRATS are pure heaven - - cheddar and original are my FAVORITES! Their " drug store". Cosmetics Liquor store and kitchen dining products are beautiful with a wonderful selection. GIANT selection of tiny hand held liquor bottles at $.99 each too! ENJOY!!!!!!

The cake she decorated exceeded our expectations, and we were genuinely impressed by the craftsmanship and attention to detail in the design. 10/10 experience--huge thanks to Kayla and the Oakdale Hy-Vee Bakery!

The service here is so slow that the mosquito in Jurassic park covers more ground then the cashiers during a shift. The staffing of indigent artists who have clearly had no career success makes the average wait time for getting a latte made around 30 minutes so better plan on doing your taxes while some unmotivated late 20 something makes your latte. The service is so slow i could feel myself turning into a impatient 50 year old conservative man like i was the cover of an animorphs novel. Despite all of my complaining the hot food has never been bad and has lots of selections. The coffee they provide is excellent and they always make lattes in an outstanding manner. I will take 20 minutes out of my day to have their coffee because it is that good.

Just like any store there is a long aisle with snacks on both sides, packages calling out for attention with bright lettering and Anime drawings. Of course there is frozen meat and fresh greens and a large selection of common items like soy sauce. I was looking for a large bottle of Rice Vinegar but had to settle for a less-in-value smaller size. The store is on a frontage road and not real visible from Fairview so think of the building next to Starbucks which is very visible.

Knowlan's is the local grocery in my town. I think it's a great store. They are your typical…read moresupermarket, no surprises or anything fancy. They typically carry one of everything, but not necessarily a lot of variety. But that's ok! I love that all the people that work there are townies, and the cashiers are generally SSP Packer High School students. I'm grateful for Knowlans for being the place I can run to quickly for that last minute ingredient or item. However, Knowlan's is rarely a place I go to when I need to do my weekly grocery shopping. The lack of variety and hit-or-miss or hard to find produce usually drives me regrettably to Cub or Rainbow.

I am all about supporting small and/or locally-owned businesses, but this place just feels like…read moreit's not even trying. The store itself is outdated and the atmosphere is depressing. What is also outdated is the selection. The produce section is very small and the frozen/unhealthy foods sections are very large. The deli selection is also small and overpriced, in my opinion. I live close by, so have stopped in here on numerous occasions to pick up just one thing, and they often do not have it. Today, it was pita chips. Fucking pita chips. But they had plenty of Lay's Southern Biscuits and Gravy-flavored chips (GROSS). I would rather just wait until the weekend and go into downtown St. Paul to shop at the farmer's market. While customer service here is usually friendly, speed and efficiency are not their strong points. There will be one checkout open and three or four employees just milling around, even if the line is several people long. Sell more produce and less packaged, processed crap!
