Hy-Vee converting Market Grille restaurants to Wahlburgers – but not in Sioux Falls
March 11, 2020
Hy-Vee is replacing its remaining full-service Market Grille restaurants with Wahlburgers — but you won’t see any in Sioux Falls, at least for now.
The Sioux Falls grocery stores that had the full-service restaurants already transitioned their locations to Market Grille Express, which offers counter service with a sit-down option.
The Wahlburgers locations will be going into 21 grocery stores in Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and Missouri.
Sioux Falls was identified for a standalone Wahlburgers after Hy-Vee announced the partnership in 2017. All 84 Market Grille restaurants also were scheduled to offer Wahlburgers-branded menu items at that time.
The Iowa-based grocery store chain has opened a handful of franchised Wahlburgers locations in the past couple of years in Minnesota and Wisconsin. A Hy-Vee spokesperson said no information is available at this point about plans for Sioux Falls.
The Wahlburgers menu includes a line of house burgers, sandwiches and salads along with floats, frappes and desserts.
