About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In an ordinary corner of Hy-Vee Pharmacy, a little girl pointed excitedly one day. ‘Mommy,’ she said, ‘look at that bottle—it’s dancing!’ The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything as he picked up the bottle. That night, several employees reported hearing soft music coming from the shelves. Next morning, a delivery driver noticed the bottles were arranged in a circle, like some strange dance party. A few days later, a neighbor stopped by with a boombox and started playing old-timey tunes—apparently, the bottles liked waltzes best. Since then, whenever someone mentions Hy-Vee Pharmacy, people smile and whisper, 'Did you hear about those dancing bottles?'
2. At night, when the pharmacist locked up Hy-Vee Pharmacy, he always heard a soft voice whispering from behind the counter: ‘Mix it just right.’ One evening, a delivery driver mentioned hearing the same voice too. The next day, everyone in town started bringing their own mixes and recipes for the pharmacist to try. By closing time, the place was filled with laughter and goodwill—even if no one could ever figure out who or what was whispering.
3. In the late afternoon sunshine, a delivery driver pulled up to Hy-Vee Pharmacy. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd in the wheelbarrow used for trash collection—a small, handwritten note. Curious, he picked it up and read: 'Free donuts tomorrow morning.' Turns out, it was just a friendly reminder from a neighbor who knew the pharmacist loved pastries. The next day, there were indeed fresh donuts waiting outside—with a smiley face drawn on the sign.
4. Late one night, as the last customer left Hy-Vee Pharmacy, the pharmacist noticed a strange humming sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old radio buried beneath some boxes. Turns out it was just an ancient weather station that had been gathering dust for years. The next morning, everyone in town laughed when they saw the pharmacist wearing headphones while filling prescriptions.
