H-E-B Fuel

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most H-E-B Fuel customers were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The parking lot was filled with cars, but not a single person was inside. Curious, he approached one car and saw an old coffee cup on the dashboard—obviously abandoned in haste. Smiling, he thought, ‘Must’ve been a regular who forgot their keys again.’

2. At closing time one night, an employee locked up the store and walked outside. ‘Did you hear that?’ asked a neighbor, pointing towards the empty parking lot. The employee shook her head. ‘What?’ she replied. ‘It sounded like someone filling up their car… with laughter.’ The next morning, when the manager arrived early for work, he found the gas pumps playing oldies from the ’80s. ‘Who programmed this?’ he wondered aloud. A delivery driver passing by overheard him and grinned, ‘Probably just some late-night prankster who filled up on fuel—and laughter.’

3. At midnight, as the lone security camera watched over empty aisles, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Please return your shopping carts to their proper place. They’re not toys.’ A few moments later, an old man appeared from behind a shelf, pushing a cart filled with cans of beans and jars of pickles. He smiled sheepishly and said, 'Sorry, I thought it was my neighborhood grocery store.' The intercom then chirped again: 'Sir, those are definitely NOT toys!'

4. At dusk, while a little boy explored the parking lot, he stumbled upon something odd—a gas pump that seemed to hum softly on its own. Curious, he approached it closer and noticed tiny lights dancing around the nozzle like fireflies. Suddenly, an old man in overalls emerged from behind the station, adjusting his glasses with a smile: 'Ah, you found our secret pet, son—an LED display gone haywire.' The boy laughed, relieved, as they both watched the glowing pump continue its soft hum.
