Hy-Vee Introduces Midwest Shoppers to Joe Fresh Fashion Apparel and Accessories

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (July 26, 2019) — Hy-Vee, Inc. announces today select Minneapolis-area locations will offer fashion apparel and accessories in partnership with Joe Fresh.

Joe Fresh, one of Canada’s leading fashion retailers, is an affordable brand with essential style, smart value and every day relevance. Hy-Vee’s introduction of Joe Fresh will be the first of its kind to Midwest shoppers as the brand is primarily sold in nearly 1,500 Canadian retail locations. Among these locations are Loblaws, a top Canadian grocery retailer, and Shoppers Drug Mart, a leading Canadian drug store retailer. In addition, Joe Fresh operates 11 freestanding stores in Canada as well as New York.

“Affordable clothing, accessories, footwear and beauty will always serve as a top need for the American consumer, which is why we’ve made these solutions available to our shoppers,” said Darren Baty, executive vice president of non-foods for Hy-Vee. “Hy-Vee’s goal is to provide its customers the very best in all lifestyle categories in a convenient and easy-to-shop format.”
