Out of all the buildings that didn t get rebuilt thanks to last August s derecho, none hurt more in the city of Marion than the Hy-Vee Drugstore. Hy-Vee Drugstore locations were great. They re smaller, more compact versions of a Hy-Vee grocery store. Sure they won t have everything a big Hy-Vee does, but if you re in a hurry and just need some toilet paper, trash bags, and a Marion trash tag, it was the place to go! Hy-Vee has finally announced what will be built on the land along 7th Ave. in Marion.
Opening in late 2021 will be a new Hy-Vee Fast and Fresh location, according to the Cedar Rapids Gazette. Like the former Hy-Vee Drugstore locations, the Fast and Fresh stores, like the one picture above in Coralville, are also smaller, condensed versions of a Hy-Vee grocery store. This will be Hy-Vee s first Fast and Fresh store in the Cedar Rapids area, and will also include gas pumps.
