Fareway Weekly Ad This Week

Fareway is closed Sundays, so plan your grocery run around it

Here's the first thing to know about Fareway: the doors stay shut on Sunday. It's not a quirk of one town. Fareway's own site says the company has always been closed on Sundays, a tradition it ties to the idea that everybody deserves a day to rest and spend time with loved ones. A 2017 Produce Business profile says the same thing, that the rule has been around as long as the company has. So if you're checking fareway hours for a Sunday afternoon, save yourself the drive.

One Iowa store listing we saw runs Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and the same listing names closed days for New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, with an early close on Christmas Eve. Hours differ by store, though, so treat that as one example and look up your own location. Searchers also type things like fareway hours 4th of july and fareway hours labor day, which tells you holidays are the big question mark.

This week's Fareway weekly ad on AdsSOS

Our current Fareway Weekly Ad covers October 19 to October 24, 2026, and runs 18 pages. Notice the short window: Monday to Saturday, which lines up neatly with a store that never opens on Sunday. We also hold a Monthly Ad for September 28 to October 31, 2026, at 41 pages. Our data doesn't give a repeat start weekday for this chain, so we'd rather not invent one.

People usually search for a local version, such as fareway weekly ad des moines or fareway weekly ad cedar rapids. One store page we saw suggests ads are tied to a specific store, so confirm your location on fareway.com. Start from the Fareway weekly ad this week page here for the scan, then double-check local items with your store.

Where the name comes from and where the stores are

Paul S. Beckwith opened the first Fareway on May 12, 1938, at 624 Story Street in Boone, Iowa. He picked the name to signal fair dealing with customers and employees. The company is still private and family-owned by the Beckwiths. Wikipedia lists headquarters in Johnston, Iowa, after a move from Boone in 2024.

Growth has been steady and regional. By 1950 there were six stores in Iowa. The first store outside Iowa opened in 2013 in Tea, South Dakota. Today the page lists stores in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas and Missouri, with a count of 141 in the infobox (2025) and 137 grocery stores in the lead, so call it roughly the high 130s to 140. Fareway also runs FarewayMeatMarket.com as a subsidiary, and the very first 1938 ad reportedly featured USDA Choice sirloin and T-bone steaks, a reminder that meat has always been the calling card.

Coupons, the app and pickup

Looking for fareway coupons? Searches show interest in digital coupons and a printable list. Progressive Grocer reported that Fareway adopted a digital coupon platform from Invisipon, where customers see their offers through the vendor's app or site and the cashier scans a barcode, a phone number or a loyalty card at checkout. That article is older, so the setup may have changed, and the front-end may look different today.

On the pickup side, the Fareway Meat and Grocery app lists online shopping for pickup and a local weekly ad. In March 2026 Instacart said Fareway orders are also available for pickup through the Instacart Marketplace with no markups, and shoppers can order at Shop.Fareway.com or in the Instacart app. Points, digital coupons and delivery services may be offered in some places and not in others. Confirm the details with your local store before you rely on them. A very common question is whether Fareway has a rewards card, since fareway rewards program is a top suggestion.

Price match and returns at Fareway

You'll see does fareway price match and fareway return policy in the suggestions. Policies on returns, refunds and price matching vary by retailer, branch and product type, and local consumer-protection rules apply on top. Read the conditions at the till or on the receipt, and keep proof of purchase. If it matters, hold on to the receipt and ask before you buy.

Using the ad like a Midwestern regular

• Check the Monday to Saturday dates, and don't count on a Sunday run.
• Look at meat first; it's the department Fareway built its name on.
• Pair the weekly sheet with the longer monthly one.
• Load any digital offers before you leave the house.
