Across the country, in neighborhoods wealthy and poor, cities have tried to cultivate downtown development with grocery stores ― with mixed success.

Some have thrived, but others have struggled, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, with reduced numbers of employees spending their working hours in central business district offices.

Downtown Des Moines' Court Avenue Hy-Vee may be a case in point. It drastically cut its hours in February, then partially restored them this month under pressure from the city, which had mandated longer hours in a development agreement that provided millions in incentives to get the store built.
