About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet aisles of H-E-B, a regular noticed something peculiar one day. As he pushed his cart down the cereal aisle, his little granddaughter pointed excitedly towards an empty shelf. ‘Grandpa,’ she whispered, eyes wide, ‘look how the boxes move!’ The grandfather squinted suspiciously, then reached for a box and tried shaking it—nothing happened. Just as they were about to leave, another customer—a friendly neighborhood lady—stopped by and laughed, saying, ‘Oh no, those aren’t moving; they’re just new stock arriving today.’ The family left with a smile, knowing that sometimes even supermarkets can be full of surprises.
2. In the late hours of one night, an H-E-B delivery driver noticed a strange note taped to the cooler doors. It read: ‘If you see a ghost in produce, don’t panic—just scan it.’ The delivery driver chuckled and thought, 'Whoever wrote this must be new around here!' He scanned the mysterious ghost, and lo and behold—a bag of bananas appeared on the receipt. The next day, a regular customer saw the note and added his own twist: 'And if you see a ghost in bakery, just bake it.' From then on, whenever anyone spotted a spirit in H-E-B, they’d whisper, 'Maybe it’s time for a free pie?'
3. One morning in H-E-B’s produce section, a regular heard an odd announcement over the speakers: ‘Please return your flying watermelons to customer service.’ A delivery driver stopped by customer service and explained he’d accidentally brought them a crate of super-fast watermelons from Mexico. The manager just smiled and said, 'Welcome to Texas, where everything’s bigger—even our watermelons!' And so, the legend grew that H-E-B’s produce was home to some extraordinarily agile fruit.
4. At midnight, an H-E-B stocker was restocking shelves when he heard whispers coming from the bread aisle. Curious, he followed the voice and found a loaf of bread talking softly to itself. Startled, he picked up the bread and asked, ‘What are you saying?’ The bread replied, ‘Just waiting for my best friend—another piece of myself.’ Everyone in the store burst out laughing, realizing it was just a regular old conversation between two slices of bread.
