The Haunting
The Columbus Hy-Vee entry is less about old architecture and more about workplace folklore. HauntedPlaces says the ghost is nicknamed Scooter and is known for screeching near the produce and dairy sections. Employees reportedly saw or sensed him around 2 a.m.
The comment thread suggests the building use changed after the Hy-Vee era. One commenter says the building later became Slumberland Furniture and describes warehouse crashes, scratching on walls, a presence near a bed at about 2 a.m., bathroom-door banging, window knocks, and employees avoiding the upstairs. The page should mention both phases so the haunting does not sound tied only to the grocery layout.

Summary of visitor and community commentary
People call the ghost Scooter and describe activity around 2 a.m. The original listing mentions screeching near produce and dairy, while comments add locked bathrooms with running water, warehouse crashes, wall scratching, banging on bathroom doors, window knocks, and employees refusing to go upstairs.
This is best framed as workplace lore that followed a commercial building through changing uses.
