Toledo gets second grocery store

The former Pamida/Shopko store in Toledo has become a “Hy-Vee Dollar Fresh” grocery store — right across the street from Fareway.

The KCRG story says this is the fourth Dollar Fresh store. A quick Google check shows the other three are in Corning, Creston, and Osceola, and KICD reports that another one is coming to Emmetsburg, also in a former Shopko. The video above shows that the concept uses That Mid-2010s Shade of Green as a secondary color to Hy-Vee’s traditional red.

This is definitely a thing that makes me go “hmm.” Can the Tama-Toledo area support two grocery stores? (I’m more worried about Traer being able to hold on to one.)
