H-E-B

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of one morning, a H-E-B delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he approached the loading dock, the store's ceiling fans would inexplicably start spinning backwards. Curious but not alarmed, the driver decided to investigate further. As soon as he stepped inside the loading bay, the fans stopped their eerie backward rotation and resumed normal speed. Turns out, a nearby neighbor had accidentally programmed his smart home device to control the store’s ceiling fans remotely. The next day, everyone in town got a good laugh—and a free tour—when the neighbor finally realized what was causing the strange phenomenon.

2. Late one night, an exhausted H-E-B cashier finished her shift and turned off the lights. As she walked out, she heard a faint voice over the store’s intercom: ‘Please return all items to their proper aisles.’ Curious, she went back inside, but found no one. Just as she was leaving again, another soft voice said, 'And don’t forget to restock those chips!' Turning around, she saw only empty shelves. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned H-E-B, people would whisper, 'Did you hear? The grocery store has a ghost stocker.'

3. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still quiet, a H-E-B employee heard an unusual sound coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and found only a banana gently singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in a high-pitched voice. The rest of the staff joined in, and soon the entire store was filled with laughter as they sang along. It turned out to be just another day at H-E-B—where bananas can serenade you while stocking shelves.

4. At closing time, an H-E-B security guard locked up the store and walked towards the exit. Suddenly, he heard a voice from behind the shelves: ‘Excuse me, sir, do you know where I can find some invisible ink?’ The guard turned around slowly, his flashlight beam dancing across the dusty aisles. 'Invisible ink?' he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Why, no, ma'am, I don't carry that here. But if you're ever in need of some ordinary ink, we've got plenty!" The voice giggled softly, and then everything went quiet again. The guard shook his head, smiled, and locked up for the night.
