About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Hy-Vee Pharmacy, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The store’s cat would dash out from under the counter and sprint towards an empty shelf, staring intently at nothing. Employees tried ignoring it, but soon even customers began noticing the feline’s odd behavior. One day, after much observing, a delivery driver dared follow the cat. It led him to an old dusty cabinet where, to everyone's surprise, was hidden a stash of free samples. From then on, whenever someone asked why the cat acted so mysteriously, employees simply smiled and said, 'Oh, he knows where the good stuff is!'
2. At Hy-Vee Pharmacy, an elderly gentleman often complained to the pharmacist: ‘I swear, every night when I close my eyes, someone’s counting my pills!’ One day, a delivery driver overheard the conversation and joked, ‘Maybe they’re just checking if you still have any left!’ Soon, other customers joined in on the fun, teasing him gently each time he came for his meds. The old man smiled, knowing it was all good-natured banter, and quipped back, ‘Well, if anyone is stealing them, they must be doing me a favor—my prescription bills are high enough already!’
3. At Hy-Vee Pharmacy, a customer exclaimed one day: ‘Why do I always feel like someone’s watching me from behind the counter?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘That’s because you’re imagining it!’ A few days later, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe they hired an invisible intern.’ And everyone laughed, including the person behind the counter who was indeed just reading labels.
4. At Hy-Vee Pharmacy, customers began noticing strange prescriptions appearing in their mailboxes late at night. Who was sending these mysterious orders? It turned out that a regular customer, who had recently moved away, was accidentally subscribed to his own prescription refills. The pharmacy staff finally noticed when they saw him picking up new deliveries from his mailbox every morning—complaining each time about ‘someone stealing his medicine’!
