Every few weeks I will get a question from one of my readers – when is Hy-Vee grocery coming to Fishers?  The answer I always get from city officials is, yes, Hy-Vee is coming and we do not know when.

Since the announcement was made that Hy-Vee planned to build new grocery stores in Fishers and Zionsville about three years ago, no ground has been broken on either store.  Reporter Daniel Bradley of the Indianapolis Business Journal (IBJ) did a deep dive into the Hy-Vee story in a piece posted April 4.

Reporter Bradley got the same answer I always received on the Fishers store.  Zionsville Mayor John Stehr indicated Hy-Vee is holding off the store in his city due to high construction costs and concerns about the impact tariffs will have on what money it will take to build a new grocery.

I had always been told Hy-Vee needed some infrastructure improvements for the Fishers store.  Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness told reporter Bradley he had not had any Hy-Vee update recently but indicated the grocery chain wants a roundabout constructed west of their site at 134th Street and Olio Road.  There are no current plans to build a roundabout at that location.

Daniel Bradley goes into much more detail in his reporting.  You can find the IBJ story at this link.  (Note:  If you are not an IBJ subscriber, you may not be able to access this story)
