Hy-Vee to acquire North Scott Foods

ELDRIDGE, Iowa (KWQC) - A family-owned grocery store known for “high-quality foods, friendly service and great prices” could soon have new ownership.

Hy-Vee Assistant Vice President of Communications Dawn E Buzynski stated “We are in the process of acquiring North Scott Foods. We have notified employees today, but at this time we do not have a timeline or further details.”

North Scott Foods, 425 East LeClaire Road, has been serving the North Scott community since 1979, according to the grocery store’s website and social media pages.

Steve Grolmus, stated in a post on the North Scott Food Facebook page; “As most of you have heard by now, I am retiring and have sold our business to HyVee. We have been approached a number of times in the last few years and have decided the time is right. This transition will take place in early April. It has been an honor and privilege for my family to serve and support this awesome community for the past 45 years. You will continue to see the same friendly, hard-working faces as HyVee will be retaining all of our staff. More information will be forthcoming.”

This is a developing story. TV6 will provide updates on-air and online.
