About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, a little girl pointed excitedly towards Hy-Vee’s entrance. Her mother asked curiously what she saw, and the child replied, ‘Look, mama—those shopping carts are dancing!’ As they approached, the carts seemed to move in perfect rhythm, almost as if they had their own DJ inside. The mom laughed, thinking it was some kind of optical illusion. But then, one of the carts gently nudged another, causing them both to spin around like a couple on a dance floor. A nearby delivery driver overheard their laughter and shook his head with a smile, muttering, 'I guess Hy-Vee's night shift gets pretty interesting sometimes!'
2. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck near Hy-Vee and stretched lazily. Suddenly, he noticed something odd—an old shopping cart seemed to be rolling down the hill on its own. Curious, the driver followed it up the slope, only to see an elderly gentleman slowly pushing another cart from behind with a smile. Turns out, the ‘haunted’ cart was just a regular trick played by neighbors on slow afternoons.
3. At closing time, an elderly gentleman walked briskly into Hy-Vee, zipping up his jacket against the cool autumn air. As he reached for the door handle, something peculiar happened. Just as he touched the handle, a friendly voice called out from behind him: 'Hey, you forgot your list again!' Startled, he turned around to see an old acquaintance, a neighborhood lady who always stopped by on her way home. They both laughed, and she offered to help him remember what he'd come for. It turned out he was just there to pick up some milk and cookies for his grandkids.
4. At dawn, a jogger passing Hy-Vee stopped abruptly, startled by a soft humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, she peered through the window and saw an old cashier, humming gently while scanning groceries for invisible customers. Turns out, he was just enjoying his morning tune before opening. The jogger smiled, realizing it wasn’t anything supernatural after all.
