GRETNA, Neb. (KMTV) — It’s a big day for the city of Gretna, a new Hy-Vee grocery store opened its doors to the public early Tuesday morning.
Shoppers lined up outside the store at the intersection of Highway 370 and S 192nd St., the doors opened at 6 a.m.
The store is the first of its kind for the regional chain. Its size is much larger than most, featuring 135,000 sq. ft. of space. Construction took about a year to complete and we asked them why they picked this specific location to build.
District Manager Brandon Lampkin said the Gretna community has been excited about the arrival of a new grocery store.
“We’ve been working really hard to bring them the most modern flagship grocery store we possibly can.” He said. “It's grocery re-imagined in a way that they’re going to be shocked to see when they come inside.”
The store will be open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
