New c-store will be constructed next to existing grocery store.

Hy-Vee Inc. will soon begin construction on a new convenience store in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The new convenience store will be accompanied by a fueling station.

According to a report from the Gazette, the new convenience store will take the place of a former dentist office, next to an existing Hy-Vee grocery store. The 12.03 acre lot is already owned by Hy-Vee and the City Planning Commission has approved the development of the new store.

The existing dentist office on the lot will soon be torn down, but construction of the new store will not begin until Spring 2016. The new store is expected to open in the Fall of 2016.
