Single-Sided Gas Fireplaces

Midwest grocer seeks creature comforts for customers

In 2019, Midwest grocery chain Hy-Vee set out to provide a top-notch experience for customers in its brand-new Maple Grove (Minn.) location. Its goal was to provide inviting spaces where customers could socialize and relax with friends and family while enjoying a craft beer or homemade meal.

To that end, Hy-Vee’s internal construction team approached Acucraft just months prior to the store’s grand opening. The project’s senior manager sought to contract a competing fireplace manufacturer but the tight timeline and exacting specifications proved too difficult for the other company.

That’s when Acucraft stepped in.

Acucraft fireplace technicians and project managers worked hand-in-hand with the Hy-Vee team and third-party contractors to ensure the installation was completed safely, securely, and on time. Acucraft technicians also worked with Hy-Vee’s facility manager to provide operational instructions and maintenance information.
