Chamber names Hy-Vee the May Business of the Month

Hy-Vee is the Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors May Business of the Month.

Located at 1217 South Main Street, Hy-Vee offers groceries and a wide variety of specialty departments such as bakery, floral, pharmacy, market grille, wine and spirits, and lawn and garden.

As stated on its nomination, Hy-Vee staff is helpful, friendly, and leadership is always seen pitching in to do what needs done. It is an excellent example of servant leadership, where department heads and the store director model the customer service and team approach expected of all workers.

Recently, the store was complimented on social media, “I was at Maryville Hy-Vee today at 1 pm. I saw Nate bringing in carts the entire 45 minutes I was there. Talk about a true example of leadership!! Not a lot of them get in there and do the “dirty work!” I was very impressed!”
