“Thanksgiving Day is about gratitude. The last several years have been some of the most challenging our employees have experienced and this is our way of showing our appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis to serve our customers,” Hy-Vee CEO and President Jeremy Gosch said in a statement. “By closing our stores on Thanksgiving Day, we can give back to our employees by providing them time to focus on their own celebrations.”
Hy-Vee’s gas stations will still be open for customers to pay for fuel on Thanksgiving Day. Customers who purchase holiday meal packs from Hy-Vee will also be able to get curbside pick-up on Thanksgiving from 8-11 a.m. or prior to the holiday.
