Hy-Vee announced temporary extended hours at Cedar Rapids locations

Hy-Vee announced it's extending its hours at its Cedar Rapids locations beginning April 20 to allow more shopping opportunities while maintaining social distancing.

The new temporary hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., with an hour from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. being reserved for high risk customers, including those ages 60 and older and expectant mothers.

In a Facebook post, Hy-Vee said the extended hours are intended to help essential workers who are working long shifts and need extra hours to shop.
