West Des Moines, IA – HyVee is honoring the men and women who have served our nation by providing a free breakfast on Veterans Day. Starting at 6:00 a.m. and running through 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 11, every HyVee store in the West Des Moines area that offers hot food service will feature a buffet‑style spread open to veterans and active‑duty military members.
What’s on the menu
The breakfast buffet will include classic morning favorites such as scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, fresh fruit, and a selection of pastries. HyVee staff have prepared the offering to ensure a hearty start to the day for those who have defended our freedoms.
Additional savings for service members
In addition to the complimentary meal, HyVee is extending a fifteen‑percent discount on all grocery purchases to military members on Veterans Day. The discount applies at both HyVee and Dollar Fresh Market locations throughout the city, giving service members a tangible way to stretch their budgets while honoring their sacrifice.
Long‑standing tradition
HyVee’s Veterans Day breakfast program dates back to 1999, making it a well‑established tradition in the community. Over the years, the retailer has served thousands of veterans and active‑duty personnel, reinforcing its commitment to the families who have protected our nation’s liberty.

By providing both a free meal and a grocery discount, HyVee helps veterans and their families start the day with nourishment and financial relief, aligning with the community’s values of family support and individual liberty.
How to participate
Veterans and active‑duty members should bring a valid military ID to any participating HyVee store on Veterans Day. The free breakfast is available on a first‑come, first‑served basis, so early arrival is encouraged. The grocery discount will be applied automatically at checkout when a qualifying ID is presented.
