About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when a Hy-Vee Pharmacy delivery driver noticed something strange. The parking lot was empty except for one old car, its headlights on and engine humming softly. Curious, he approached the car and saw an elderly gentleman sleeping soundly behind the wheel. Turning him gently awake, they exchanged greetings, and it turned out the man had simply dozed off while waiting for his prescription. With a hearty laugh, the delivery driver offered to drive the man home—after all, it was a slow day, and someone needed to get some exercise walking back from the pharmacy anyway.

2. It was just after midnight on a Thursday when a Hy-Vee Pharmacy delivery driver heard something unusual coming from the stockroom. The soft humming grew louder with each step until he found himself staring at a bottle of aspirin that seemed to be glowing faintly in the dark. Curious, he picked up the bottle and noticed it had an expiration date from the previous century. Just as he raised it to his mouth for a closer look, another voice whispered, ‘Hey, that’s mine!’ Turning around, he saw only a puzzled-looking janitor who mumbled, ‘I thought I left my lunch here.’

3. It was late afternoon when a Hy-Vee Pharmacy delivery driver pulled up to an empty parking lot. ‘Finally,’ he muttered, checking his watch, ‘no more rush-hour traffic.’ Little did he know that today would become legendary for something entirely unexpected. As he opened the back of the truck, a stray cat jumped out and ran straight into the pharmacy’s glass door. The entire neighborhood heard the crash, followed by the delivery driver’s startled yelp. Turns out, it wasn’t just another quiet day after all—just one with a furry interruption.

4. It was early in the morning when a Hy-Vee Pharmacy delivery driver grumbled, ‘Another day, same old routine.’ Little did he know that today would bring him something far more unusual than any prescription. As he made his rounds, he noticed an elderly gentleman waving frantically from across the street. Curious, he pulled over and asked what was wrong. Turns out, the man had just received a new pair of reading glasses but couldn’t figure out how to adjust them. After a few minutes of fumbling and laughter, both ended up with a good story to tell their neighbors—about the time the pharmacist needed help adjusting someone else’s glasses.
