What they're saying: Having no entrance on Court Avenue is inconvenient and raises safety concerns, Downtown Neighborhood Association president Deb Madison-Levi tells Axios.

• The association also feels strongly about the need for the store and wants a reasonable solution that assures its longevity, she said.

Most grocery stores want only one entrance. Fareway for example fought to only have one entrance at their Beaverdale location.

HyVee released statement saying tariffs made doors too expensive.

After being laughed at for admitting he pisses himself every time he thinks about entering a Hy-Vee after dark the OP went back there.
Amazing.

So you need two loss-prevention employees if you have two doors instead of one.

Sounds like good business management, to me.
