About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk one day, a delivery driver pulled up to Hy-Vee Gas and said to himself, 'I bet I can fit five more cases here.' Suddenly, the pumps started talking back. The pumps chimed in unison, ‘Not so fast, buddy!’ Before he knew it, five extra cases were magically stacked on their own. The delivery driver scratched his head, laughed, and said, ‘Guess they know better than me.’

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Hy-Vee Gas and noticed an unusual sight: a neighbor was pumping gas while wearing only flip-flops and holding an umbrella against the rain. The delivery driver smiled and thought, ‘That’s our Mr. Johnson, always making life interesting.’ He shook his head and continued on his route, wondering if anyone else would see something equally peculiar that day. As it turned out, no one did—until Mr. Johnson returned the next week in his swim trunks, claiming he needed sunscreen for his car windshield.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Hy-Vee Gas and found something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, wondering what could be inside. As he opened it, out popped a friendly neighborhood cat that meowed sweetly and ran off into the night. The next day, everyone joked about how maybe Hy-Vee Gas had its own secret pet delivery service.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Hy-Vee Gas and saw a sign on the pump: ‘Fill Up Your Tank or Fill Up Your Dreams – Choose Wisely.’ Curious, he filled his tank with regular gas—and dreamed of winning the lottery. Next morning, he found a lottery ticket in his glove compartment. It was worth ten thousand dollars! The delivery driver grinned, realizing that sometimes choosing both options works out better than expected.
