Hy-Vee Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Hy-Vee Pharmacy. A mysterious figure kept appearing near the loading dock, whispering strange rhymes. Curious, the driver followed the figure’s eerie humming and found it was just an old man singing along with his radio. Turned out he lived nearby and thought the pharmacy was closed for good. After that, everyone in town started calling him ‘Mr. Early Morning Melody,’ and he became a neighborhood legend himself.

2. One day after school, a little girl entered the parking lot and saw something unusual—a talking pill bottle waving hello from inside an open window. Curious, she approached cautiously until a friendly voice called out, ‘Don’t be scared! I’m just a regular old medicine bottle.’ Turns out it was a misplaced sample pack that had accidentally been left behind during a delivery. The pharmacist later joked, ‘At least now kids know not to talk to strangers—even if they’re in bottles!’

3. At midnight, when even grocery stores sleep, an overnight stocker heard strange whispers coming from the medicine aisle. Curious, he followed the sound and found a bottle of cough syrup talking softly to a box of Band-Aids. Startled, both items fell silent. Turning around, he saw only empty shelves. Shaking his head with a smile, he thought, ‘Must be those old pharmacy ghost stories again.’

4. At closing time, when Hy-Vee Pharmacy’s neon sign flickered its last glow, a night janitor heard soft footsteps echoing in the empty aisles. Was someone still there? Curious, he followed the sound and found only an open bottle of cough syrup on the floor. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood cat exploring the pharmacy after hours. The next day, everyone laughed when they saw the security footage—except for the poor janitor who had to clean up the sticky mess.
