About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a H-E-B delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he loaded groceries into the store: ‘Why do I always get the craziest aisles?’ Just then, an old lady approached with a basket full of strange items. She asked, 'Do you know where they keep the flying saucer-shaped cookies?' The driver shook his head, muttering, 'Now THAT’S what I call a weird aisle!'

2. One day in the dairy aisle, an elderly shopper exclaimed, ‘I thought I saw milk that could talk!’ Everyone looked around but heard nothing. Suddenly, a nearby delivery driver turned and asked, ‘Talking milk? That’s new!’ Then everyone laughed, realizing it was just an old lady’s imagination. The story became a neighborhood joke, reminding everyone that sometimes supermarkets can be as mysterious as any fairy tale.

3. In the early hours of one Sunday morning, a H-E-B security guard swore he heard someone whispering from the frozen foods section. Curious, he crept closer and thought he saw a shadow moving among the ice cream cartons. Turns out it was just an errant shopping cart playing hide-and-seek with him. The guard laughed it off, realizing that sometimes even the quietest supermarkets can be full of surprises.

4. In the chilly pre-dawn hours, a H-E-B cashier noticed something peculiar. A small dog, no bigger than a toy, scampered down the cereal aisles, its tail wagging furiously. The cashier watched in amusement until it vanished behind the bread counter. Curious, the cashier followed the trail of crumbs and empty cereal boxes. Behind the bread counter, they found the tiny pooch happily gnawing on a bagel. ‘Looks like someone’s been sneaking breakfast!’ laughed a nearby customer. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood stray who thought H-E-B was open twenty-four paws.
