Hy-Vee Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does that old delivery truck keep honking its horn right outside your window?’ The pharmacist shrugged and replied, ‘I’ve no idea—maybe it’s trying to tell us something.’ A few days later, an elderly neighbor stopped by with a smile. ‘That truck finally told me what it was saying,’ she whispered conspiratorially. ‘It keeps yelling “HY-VEE PHARMACY” because it wants everyone to know where they can get their prescriptions filled!’ Everyone laughed, realizing the world sometimes speaks in unexpected ways.

2. In the late afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mother, ‘Mommy, why is that man talking to the medicine bottles?’ The mother smiled gently and explained, 'Honey, he's just a regular guy who works here. He talks to them every day.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully before turning back to observe the scene with wide eyes. A few moments later, they both burst out laughing as he animatedly discussed the latest flavors of cough syrup with an enthusiastic delivery driver.

3. At closing time one night, an employee noticed something odd: the pharmacy’s neon sign kept flickering on its own, as if someone were pressing the button from inside. Curious, the worker opened the door just a crack—only to see a sleepy-looking cat sitting in front of the sign, blinking its little eyes and causing the light to waver. The next morning, everyone agreed that maybe it was time for a new neon sign—and a good scratch behind the ears for the neighborhood feline.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Hy-Vee Pharmacy with a frown on his face. Something about the dimly lit parking lot felt off tonight. As he approached the door, it suddenly opened wide—revealing an old man in a lab coat waving cheerfully. ‘Welcome, delivery guy!’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. Turns out, it was just the night manager playing a prank on everyone. The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, muttering something about never taking those late-night deliveries again.
