Fareway is a family-owned business, and a top 10 employer in Iowa, with over 12,000 employees in a six-state region. Some Fareway stores open as early as 7:00 a.m. and stay open as late as 9:00 p.m., but all are closed on Sundays and major holidays. Fareway's mission is to provide the highest quality, freshest product available, while treating customers like family and valuing dedicated employees. [3]

FarewayMeatMarket.comm is the organization's online meat market, offering premium beef and all natural pork raised by family farmers and sourced straight out of the heartland.[4]

In December 2018, Fareway announced a new plan to help eligible full-time employees pay off their student loan debt. This benefit will give $100 a month with an upper limit of $5,000 total. This adds Fareway Stores, Inc. to the roughly four percent of companies across the nation that offer employee benefits concerning student loan debt. [5]
