Hy-Vee develops Facebook fan page

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa If users of Facebook can become fans of everything from Brad Pitt to their mothers’ cooking, then it’s no surprise that they can become fans of a supermarket and retail pharmacy chain, too.

Hy-Vee announced this week the launch of a fan page on the popular social networking site. The page contains photos from Hy-Vee stores, company announcements and recipes.

The company has also redesigned its Web site, featuring greater use of white space and dynamic features such as pull-down menus.
