About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few years ago, an elderly gentleman regularly visited Hy-Vee Pharmacy for his prescriptions. One day, he noticed something peculiar in the checkout aisle—a small, colorful bottle labeled ‘Miracle Elixir’ that claimed to cure everything from headaches to bad dreams. Curious, he bought it and found himself waking up each morning with a new talent or ability. Soon enough, word spread around town, and people started flocking to Hy-Vee Pharmacy asking for their own bottles of Miracle Elixir. A delivery driver even showed up one day, complaining that his route was now too easy because he could read maps without looking. The pharmacist just smiled and said, 'Welcome to our little secret!'
2. At night, when the pharmacy closed, a neighborhood cat would sneak into the empty store and jump onto the counter, curiously pawing at the bottles of medicine. One night, a delivery driver noticed the cat and decided to bring it some fresh milk from home. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood found out that the cat had knocked over several bottles, creating a colorful rainbow on the floor—all thanks to the pharmacist’s neon sign!
3. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the pharmacy’s loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and sealed with string. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside. The pharmacist opened the package to find nothing but a note that read: ‘Happy Halloween from your friendly neighborhood Hy-Vee!’ Turned out, it was just an elaborate prank from one of the local trick-or-treaters who thought the pharmacy was a spooky castle.
4. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Hy-Vee Pharmacy’s loading dock and noticed something odd in one of the parked delivery trucks—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. The delivery driver opened it curiously, revealing only a note that read: ‘Free samples inside!’ Inside were boxes of free candy. A regular from down the street walked in later that day and joked, ‘Guess someone forgot to lock their truck again.’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, everyone was happily munching on free chocolates.
