About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular shouted at checkout: ‘Cashier, why do you always ring up bananas as ninjas?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘Because they’re in disguise!’ Since then, shoppers claim to see banana ninja discounts every Tuesday. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Why are there so many ninja masks in produce?’ The manager grinned, shaking his head: ‘They’re not masks—just another form of camouflage.’ Now, on Sundays, customers spot banana ninjas playing hide-and-seek among apples.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Hy-Vee's loading dock and swore he heard someone humming along with the cash register’s beep. Curious, he peeked inside and saw an old lady carefully scanning groceries while softly singing to herself. Turns out she was just humming along with her own internal rhythm—nothing supernatural after all.
3. One day, while browsing the aisles with her mom, little Sarah stopped dead in her tracks. Pointing towards the canned goods section, she whispered, 'Mom, look—all these cans are dancing!' Her mother smiled and gently nudged her forward, but Sarah insisted on investigating further. As they approached, the cans seemed to quiet down, only to start again when another customer walked by. Turns out, it was just an old delivery driver humming along to his favorite tunes as he stocked the shelves. The family left Hy-Vee that day with a new story to tell—and maybe a few extra cans of beans for dinner.
4. In the dairy section one afternoon, a shopper asked aloud: ‘Why does every gallon of milk here look like it’s smiling?’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and leaned in with a twinkle in his eye: ‘That’s because these aren’t just any jugs— they’re Hy-Vee’s Happy Gallons!’ A regular passing by nodded knowingly, whispering to her neighbor, “I bet they’ve got a secret smiley-face stamp somewhere.’
