KCRG reports that Johnson Avenue Hy-Vee s Aisles Online service has grown from having 10 employees when it started to now having 60 employees. This number jumped over the last few months.
Melinda Rouw shops for customers at the Johnson Avenue Hy-Vee through the service and told KCRG that her nine or 10 hour days fly by, as she stays busy handling hundreds of orders every week.
The report states that before the pandemic, Johnson Hy-Vee saw 180 to 200 Aisle Online orders each week. As you can imagine, that number has now quadrupled. The store s HR manager Sarah Kew told KCRG that they average 800 orders a week and peaked at 1,500.
