HyVee begins work to convert former Shopko building

Work to transform the former Shopko building in Hampton to its new function will begin this week.

HyVee’s corporate office last week announced that construction and renovation on the building to accommodate the new Dollar Fresh store HyVee intends to open this summer will begin this week.

The Dollar Fresh format, which HyVee rolled out in 2018 across Iowa, features a full grocery section, baked goods, produce and a value section. The idea behind the format is to give smaller communities that typically don’t have access to HyVee stores.
