A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Hy-Vee Gas, customers started noticing something peculiar one foggy morning. A regular filling up his car spotted an old, dusty harmonica nestled among the gas pumps. Curious, he picked it up and gave it a blow—only for the harmonica to start playing an old folk tune perfectly in time with the hum of the pumps. Word spread quickly, and soon neighbors were stopping by just to hear the music while they filled their tanks. The manager, perplexed but amused, decided to leave the harmonica there as a quirky touch. To this day, if you visit Hy-Vee Gas on a quiet Sunday morning, you might catch the sound of an ancient melody drifting from among the gas pumps.

2. At Hy-Vee Gas, one night after dark, a delivery driver pulled up and noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. The pump seemed to be glowing softly, as if lit from within. Curious, he approached the pump, but when he turned off the engine, the glow vanished. After filling his truck, he glanced back—nothing but darkness. Next morning, everyone laughed when he mentioned it over coffee with a neighbor. Turns out, someone had left their phone on flashlight mode.}

3. At Hy-Vee Gas, an old lady pumping gas exclaimed, ‘I just saw my neighbor’s dog walking into the pump!’ The man quickly jumped out of his truck and chased after the canine, while another customer shouted, ‘Wait, your neighbour’s dog always does that!’ The whole scene ended with everyone laughing as the dog finally trotted off, tail wagging, and the old lady finishing up the fill-up.

4. At Hy-Vee Gas, a delivery driver stopped for a quick fill-up on his way home from work. As he pumped gas, he heard someone whispering behind him. Curious but cautious, he glanced around and saw no one. Just as he turned back, he felt a tap on his shoulder—only to discover it was just his neighbor, stopping by for coffee. They both laughed, realizing they’d both been startled by the other’s quiet arrival.
