ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Ashwaubenon’s newest grocery store says it will be closed on Thanksgiving Day.
Hy-Vee is set to open Tuesday for the first time inside the former Shopko store in Bay Park Square Mall.
The grocery chain is giving customers a heads up that all of its locations will be closed on Turkey Day. That’s in line with other major retailers like Kohl’s, Target and Best Buy.
According to the company, this is the first time in Hy-Vee’s 92-year history that its stores will be closed on Thanksgiving. Customers will still be able to pump fuel at all of its Fast & Fresh locations on Thanksgiving.
“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,” said Jeremy Gosch, CEO and president of Hy-Vee. “By closing our stores on Thanksgiving Day, we can give back to our employees by providing them time to focus on their own celebrations.”
It opens at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, November 8th.
