About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were browsing the aisles of H-E-B, an elderly woman stopped in front of the cheese section and exclaimed over the loudspeaker: ‘Excuse me everyone, I just found out that cheddar is now from Mars!’ A delivery driver overheard her and calmly replied through the intercom, ‘Ma’am, it’s actually from Texas, not Mars.’ She smiled sheepishly and muttered something about needing more coffee before heading off to find some real news on TV. The store manager later joked that maybe they should start a weekly trivia night—just to keep things interesting.
2. One day in the H-E-B grocery store, a delivery driver accidentally left a crate of mislabeled jars on the shelf. As customers picked them up, they heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Attention please—we’ve just received a special shipment of vintage jams from Grandma’s secret recipe!’ Customers rushed to grab the mysterious jars, thinking they’d struck gold. Soon enough, an elderly lady approached the intercom and calmly announced, 'Excuse me, but I believe you have my secret family preserves.' Turned out it was just her weekly shopping trip gone viral.
3. In the late afternoon, while shopping for groceries at H-E-B, a regular noticed something unusual—a faint humming sound coming from one of the freezers. Curious, they opened the door slightly and peered inside—only to see a delivery driver frantically waving his hands, trying to herd a small herd of frozen chickens towards the exit. Turns out, he’d accidentally set off the alarm thinking it was the freezer’s defrost cycle.
4. One night, after closing hours, a security guard at H-E-B heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve found a new species of fruit in produce section three. Please come and identify it.’ Curious, the guard followed the instructions and soon found himself surrounded by employees laughing hysterically while pointing at a brightly colored watermelon with an unusually large smiley face carved into its rind. 'A regular,' one delivery driver explained, 'thought it was a great idea for Halloween.'
