Interestingly one of the closures is going to become a Wall To Wall Wine and Spirits store (Hy-Vee's competitor to Total Wine) although I can't imagine this store would take up the entire 70,000+ square foot former Hy-Vee space.

Another closure is going to become a "distribution center" or sorts for online purchases.

The Kansas City closure/conversion is a rather curious one but that must be a lesser performing store. It definitely could use some sort of remodel. There are two other locations within a (long) 10 minute drive of these two.

The Sioux Falls one is probably the oldest and worst performing store they have there.

The Moline closure is interesting, I wonder what happened there. It does seem like grocers often do not do well in power centers.
