Hy-Vee's drastic reduction in the operating hours of its downtown Des Moines store isn't being well received by City Hall, which also is pushing back along with Des Moines police on the supermarket chain's contention that the change is necessary in part to protect staff and customers amid rising theft and loitering at the store.

The city said Wednesday that Hy-Vee has 45 days to return its operating hours to 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., after which it and Knapp Properties, the developer of the 420 Court Ave. building that houses the store, could be in violation of a development agreement.

Hy-Vee spokesperson Tina Potthoff said Wednesday afternoon that meetings between Hy-Vee and the city are happening "now."

"We have been talking to the city today about a resolution to best serve our customers in the downtown area," she said. "We are making some adjustments that we hope to announce soon."
