Hy-Vee Inc. is planning to build a 10,000-square-foot Fast & Fresh mini grocery store that will include gas pumps, a coffee shop and fresh food at the corner of Merle Hay and Hickman roads in Des Moines.

The company originally had proposed a 4,700-square foot convenience store at the site, but expanded the proposal, according to a letter sent out to area residents.

The store would be located at on the site where Marino’s restaurant and First Baptist Church of Urbandale were located. Both the restaurant and the church have found new locations.

Hy-Vee has purchased additional nearby parcels to accommodate the larger store, said Tina Potthoff, Hy-Vee spokeswoman.

Hy-Vee’s Fast & Fresh store also will have a Hy-Vee Market Grille Express, where customers order at the counter and a server brings the food to the table. And from drawings the company released Monday, it appears that the coffee shop will be a Starbucks.

Construction could begin next summer, she said.

Hy-Vee said it expects to build more of the smaller footprint stores.

“This is a new concept for us as we look toward bringing more fresh, expanded offerings elsewhere in our eight-state region,” said Potthoff.

The company is meeting Monday night with neighbors and will discuss the project further at the Des Moines Planning and Zoning committee meeting Oct. 5, Potthoff said.

Hy-Vee plans to build a similar store at Jordan Creek and Mills Civic parkways in West Des Moines, west of Lowe’s Home Improvement. The initial proposal included groceries, a drive-through coffee shop on one end and a pickup lane for online grocery orders on the other. That store could be 12,000 to 16,000 square feet and include fuel pumps as well.

The company is still working on details for that project, Potthoff said.
