    Since writing this review, I have moved to another state. Upon returning for a visit I discovered…read moreParker's has been purchased by an out-of-town owner. It is now called Wood's. The pharmacy and grocery staff seem to be mostly the same people, but I cannot state how well the store is now run. What I wrote previously: Number one - Parker's is the only locally owned grocery and pharmacy in Warrensburg. The owners are active in their community, doing their best to benefit the area. I support locally owned businesses if I can justify doing so. Parker's has earned my loyalty. The prices are not always the lowest; they may not always be favorably compared to prices at WalMart and BiLo and Aldi's. However, they work hard to cover all the basics and then add carefully selected additional items they know their townspeople want. Watch for sales, as usual. Heck, if you ask about any specific item you cannot locate, they find a way to begin stocking it. Their produce is likely obtained from the same sources other area grocers use, but they must be choosing the higher quality. I have never gotten inferior quality from them and I have from other places in town. I can almost guarantee they would bend over backwards to make things right if ever I was dissatisfied. They have real butchers who will cut as you desire or grind things up as you desire and probably can do more than I've thought of asking for! If a checkout line is more than 2 customers long they call for reinforcements! You cannot find THAT at the other markets. They own their own pharmacy too. You get personalized attention from a very highly qualified staff. Big ticket help in a small town is a great combination. Just about any discounts you would receive at the "big boys" of pharmacy can also be found at Parkers; they are extremely competitive. On top of all that, they have packed a tremendous amount of variety and standards into their cozy alcoholic beverage section. You will find the usual liquors, wine and beer, plus many specialty local offerings. Parker's is a great resource for local wines as well as regional wines from other countries. They also carry a very diverse selection of micro-brewed finds, many of which can be purchased as individual components to a "build your own 6-pack". That is rare in a town this small. To summarize, Parker's can satisfy your needs while making you feel appreciated. They seem to work hard at making you feel they want your business. The Julie person

    I have been calling this the "new" HY-Vee since their recent remodel. It has a brighter "feel" than…read moreit had in the past. And with their separate area for their grocery pick up service, congestion has been reduced in the parking lot. I do appreciate their drive through pharmacy as it also reduces congestion inside the store. And a high score for me is that their gas station carries "No Alcohol" fuel (premium pumps only) for the better health of my vehicles fuel systems. On to the store. The demise of their Market Grille was a loss that could be seen coming. When it first opened it rivaled many area sit down restaurants. But as others were opened the original manager was reassigned and service and food dropped off in quality - and continued to drop. It has been replaced by something called Wahlbuger that lacks the menu and service of the past. Their prepared food (I think of it as a cafeteria) has a few highlights like breakfasts and reasonable BBQ (in Kansas City "reasonable" far outweighs very good in most of the rest of the country), along with prepackaged fruit. Starbucks has a stand in the front of the store with all their usual offerings, but across the isle at that snack bar, coffee is available at a much lower cost, and in my opinion, with much better taste and free refills. But to each his own. The Pharmacy is yet another high point. I like the fact that they will send texts when a prescription is ready and that you can manage your prescriptions online. During high demand times they provide curbside flu and COVID-19 shots. I have always found the pharmacy staff to be professional, friendly, and helpful. Smiles can go a long way when you are picking up a prescription called in by your doctor - you likely are not feeling your best at times like that and I appreciate their understanding. I have always found the store clean and well stocked. Their selection is equal or better than other area stores, and their butcher shop staff always goes out of their way to assure you have the most desirable and affordable cuts of meat. Throughout the store the staff is almost always available to assist in locating hard to find items. But being an "Employee Owned" business there appears to be a pride in being part of the business. I like that. Understanding that this is the highest trafficked store in the chain, they still are able to move customers through very efficiently while maintaining good attitudes and customer service. That all said, my opinion is that this is the best (or at least my favorite) Hy-Vee in town.

    I shop here only for a few items and only because of the proximity to my home. Overall, I don't…read morenecessarily like Hy-Vee, it seems that their store has not gone out of their way to retain my business any meaningful way. My biggest critique is your signage is typically wrong on your sale items. And then when I try to get them to honor or adjust the price to match the advertised price, they make me feel like a I am in the wrong and that I'm trying to rip them off when they are the ones who set the sale price.
