The specials in the HyVee ads are honored here as well as the gas discounts that come with purchases. Personally I find the HyVee house brand frozen vegetables to be very good. Very friendly staff.

They have it. Habash brand spices? Tons. Halal butcher shop? Yep. Cadbury buttons, flakes, dairy milk, and milka? Yes. Tea? Of course. But following the Billy Mays mantra, "but wait! There's more!" There's a grill where you can get a massive shawarma or a decadent Dubai chocolate that runs a risk of instant diabetes. It's worth the risk. AND then the there's the baklava vault, which also has babousa and other desserts. The baklava is a must and there is a variety of it. Lastly the folks working there are super friendly and obliging. Shopping here is basically a small international trip and the mix is something special. Ironically a place like this is what makes America great.

There was dried fruit, some fresh veggies, three different dips/sauces. And separately packaged were several types of crackers. It was gorgeous!!!!! The large diverse variety of the meats and cheeses just couldn't be beat.

I was one of the ravenous hoard ;) Just perfect, highly highly recommend.
