WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Hy-Vee here this week broke ground on a new 230,000-square-foot warehouse in Cherokee, Iowa, for dry grocery and general merchandise, the company said.

The company said the additional warehouse was needed because its current warehouse in Cherokee was beyond capacity and had begun storing product in trailers and sheds.
