Layoffs Possible In Hy-Vee Supermarket Chain Shake Up

DES MOINES — Hy-Vee, the Midwest regional supermarket chain, is shaking up its corporate office by reassigning employees and may start layoffs, company officials said Friday.

About 60 employees were affected by the changes, officials said. At least 50 were offered positions at the store level or in new corporate posts. But it's unclear how many employees will accept reassignments and how many will leave the company.

"We are redirecting how we are supervising and structuring certain administrative areas of the company," said Hy-Vee spokeswoman Tara Deering-Hansen. "At this time, the majority of the people whose positions are impacted will be reassigned to other positions within the company, including opportunities at retail."
