About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Hy-Vee one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he parked near the loading dock, his dog started howling uncontrollably from the backseat. The next day, customers reported hearing strange whispers in the aisles around midnight. Soon enough, rumors spread that Hy-Vee was haunted. One evening, a regular customer brought her dog, and they both froze mid-step when they heard ghostly laughter echoing through the produce section. Turned out, it was just an old shopping cart rolling down an empty aisle. Everyone had a good laugh—and now, whenever someone mentions Hy-Vee’s ghosts, everyone knows it’s probably just their imagination playing tricks.
2. At Hy-Vee one morning, an early shopper saw a sign taped to the door: ‘Today’s special—ghost-free aisles guaranteed!’ Curious, she entered and indeed found each aisle eerily empty of customers. Just as she was reaching for some cereal, a delivery driver walked past, muttering under his breath, 'Finally, I can do my rounds without anyone asking where the milk is!'
3. At Hy-Vee one day, a little boy pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered, ‘Mom, look! Is that a ghost?’ His mom glanced up and giggled, but when she looked closer, she saw nothing more than a misplaced security camera reflection. Just then, an elderly lady pushing a cart paused and nodded knowingly. ‘Oh, no,’ she said with a smile, ‘that’s not a ghost—it’s just Mr. Johnson’s reflection from his morning jog!’ Everyone laughed, including the little boy who blushed and realized he’d been fooled by an old neighborhood joke.
4. At Hy-Vee one foggy dawn, a cashier swore she heard whispers from the bread aisle. Everyone else thought it was just dew on the floor. Soon after, an overnight stocker claimed he saw a loaf of bread floating down the aisle. A delivery driver insisted he heard laughter coming from the freezer section. By closing time, everyone in the store had their own ghostly tale—except for the neighbor who worked the night shift and reported nothing but quiet and perfectly arranged shelves.
