The Janesville store director Brett VonBank tells NBC15 that employees would be handing out bags with items for the first 300 customers Tuesday.

Based on the results of a recent Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) in preparation for the Hy-Vee supermarket opening in Janesville, the city council approved and implemented an all-way stop control at the intersection of North Lexington Drive and the private drive to the Hy-Vee and Woodman’s supermarkets.

Once the two new stores open, Hy-Vee will have eight grocery store locations in Wisconsin, including two in Madison and one in Fitchburg.
