CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Customers can find milk, eggs and other staples alongside more exotic options at a new store in southeast Cedar Rapids, not far from where a Hy-Vee closed one year ago.
The S. International Market, 803 Third Ave. SE, held its grand opening Thursday, June 12, 2025, in the former Jeff Jones Furniture building, previously the home of Hawkeye Seed Co.
Hy-Vee closed its store at 1556 First Ave. NE in June 2024, but Sui Thawng, owner of the S. International Market, said that’s not what drew him to Cedar Rapids.
