Grocery Stores in Oelwein, IA

“I wish I could remember the name of the meat dept clerk who helped fulfill my order on Saturday Apr 2! I had made a list of approx $400 worth of meat based on online prices that I gave to him. He went above and beyond to make sure my order contained "no surprises"; checked what was available, told me some prices would be lower due to online service fees that would not apply, and bent over backwards to offer me options. We are SOOO pleased with what we got! I compared prices from several meat lockers in the area, and Fareway won hands down for the most reasonable prices and best customer service. We have never placed such a large order from Fareway, but have always trusted the quality of meat we get there! Thank you Fareway!”

“New to the area and have discovered the Hy-vee app where I attempted placing a custom cake order. Not realizing that the Oelwein location doesn’t have a bakery. Matt reached out to me after I tried getting help with ordering, broke the news to me of no bakery, pointed me in the closest direction to order AND is making sure the cake is picked up and ready for me to purchase locally. So far everyone (cashier today, Matt and the lady on the line from the other location have went above and beyond. Love it! Thank you for a great experience!”

“Great addition to the grocery scene in town. There are some things available that you can't get at the other grocery store in town. They are aggressive on pricing. They make it feel a bit more upscale than it really is. People have been trained well and consistently. Clean physical plant. The parking lot needs some work.”

“I am a patient as well as an employee of this pharmacy and I can tell you with this pharmacy doing the high amount of volume that it does on a daily basis it does well. I don’t know if any of you have ever worked in pharmacy but I can tell you I have worked in pharmacy for over 22 years and the people I work with right now are the best and most caring people I have ever worked with. They may be frazzled by the hectic work pace and trying to please every single person but they do try to take care of every single person. It’s not easy working in pharmacy and it seems like anymore it’s getting harder. Take the time and think about how much volume a pharmacy does. This town has over 5,000 people in it and we triage everyday trying to get the most acute patients out because honestly if you’re child is deathly ill or you have cancer or your on hospice you will be first in our line. We love all of our patients and hope they understand we are trying our best to be there for them and their family. We wish you all the best and please understand sometimes there is a wait and sometimes emergencies do happen and things get pushed further down the line. We are dealing with patients lives, it’s not something that can be done like a burger in a fast food chain. We love you all, please understand ❤️”

“Overall good experience. Small wait at the register, no big deal. Was looking for Chili Beans, but they were out. Prices are good. I'm usually always able to find what I need. Nice and friendly staff”
