About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In an ordinary aisle of H-E-B, a little boy pointed excitedly at something on the shelf and whispered, ‘Mom, look! It’s talking!’ His mother smiled, thinking it was just another colorful label, but when she turned around, the cans seemed to whisper among themselves in hushed tones. Finally, their cart reached the checkout line where the cashier raised an eyebrow and asked, 'Did you find everything alright today?' The mom replied with a laugh, 'Just some noisy canned goods!'

2. In one corner of the H-E-B grocery store, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the produce section—a banana with eyes and a smile drawn on it. Curious, he picked up the banana and asked nearby customers if anyone had done this prank. Soon, laughter filled the aisle as neighbors confessed they’d been having fun drawing faces on bananas after seeing it on social media. The delivery driver joined in, adding a mustache and goatee to another banana, causing an outbreak of giggles throughout the entire store.

3. In a quiet aisle of H-E-B, a neighborhood kid discovered a mysterious package wrapped in old newspaper. Curious passersby began whispering about its origins. As days passed, more and more people came to see the package. Finally, a delivery driver joked that it was probably an ancient Aztec treasure map. The manager decided to open it during the weekly staff meeting—inside was just a bag of groceries with a note saying ‘Thanks for everything!’ Turned out, a neighbor had been secretly stocking up on H-E-B’s famous deals.

4. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the back entrance of H-E-B. As he unloaded crates of fresh produce, he heard a soft rustling from behind one crate. Curious, he peered around it and found… nothing. Suddenly, an old banana skin slipped out from under another crate, sending him into a fit of giggles. Turning serious again, he finished his work quickly and left, never mentioning anything to anyone. To this day, locals occasionally spot a mischievous smile on the shelves after dark.
