Like I said before, Hy-Vee doesn't close profitable stores, even if they are in a sketchy part of town. I worked at the East Euclid Hy-Vee and the crowd there was ROUGH in the mid 90's. We had to have a full time DSM police officer on duty after 8pm, I made multiple court appearances for things done in the store, only one place in DSM had more 911 call per year (Merle Hay Mall), constant issues with shoplifting, etc. but they would have never closed one of the most profitable stores in the metro (at the time). I worked some Christmas parties at a few of the Waterloo stores that were in extremely dangerous parts of town, which were not closed. I'm actually shocked Harding Hills/MLK in Des Moines is still in business, they seemed to lose a lot of money. When the Ingersoll location closed a lot of people were surprised that it wasn't MLK instead.
