FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hy-Vee’s Retail Stores Will Be Closed Thanksgiving Day

Announcement includes all Hy-Vee grocery, Dollar Fresh Market, Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh and
Hy-Vee Wine & Spirits locations

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (Nov. 1, 2022) — Hy-Vee announced today that its more than 285 retail locations will
be closed for Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24, so that the company’s more than 80,000 employees across its eight-
state region can enjoy the holiday with their friends and family.

This is the first time in Hy-Vee’s 92-year history that its stores will close on Thanksgiving, reflecting Hy-Vee’s
commitment to be the best place to work in America. All Hy-Vee grocery stores, Dollar Fresh Markets, Hy-Vee
Fast & Fresh locations, Wall to Wall Wine and Spirits locations, and Hy-Vee Wine & Spirits locations will be
closed. Customers will still be able to pay at the pump for fuel at all Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh locations on
Thanksgiving Day.

“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.”

Customers who purchase holiday meal packs will be able to schedule a time to pick up their order in-store prior
to the Thanksgiving holiday or via curbside pickup from 8 – 11 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day at Hy-Vee grocery
stores. Customers can order holiday meal packs by calling their local Hy-Vee store or by ordering online.

All Hy-Vee corporate offices will also be closed on Thanksgiving Day. For more information on specific store
