About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The H-E-B Pharmacy’s neon sign blinked on and off in an erratic pattern, as if it were trying to send a secret message. Curious, he peered inside through the window and saw nothing but flickering lights and shadows. Suddenly, a voice from within called out, ‘Delivery guy? We’re having technical difficulties—can you bring us some batteries?’
2. At midnight, when even grocery stores sleep, an overnight stocker heard whispers coming from the backroom. Curious, he peeked inside and saw… nothing but empty shelves and a mischievous shadow. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Hey, buddy! Did you miss these?’ The stocker turned around and found a smiling a delivery driver holding a box of forgotten band-aids. Everyone had a good laugh, and the legend of H-E-B’s nighttime pharmacy helper became just another funny tale among neighbors.
3. At dawn, when H-E-B Pharmacy is usually empty, a security guard spotted a shadowy figure darting between shelves. Curious, he followed the ghostly form and found an old man rummaging through aspirin bottles. Turns out, he was just a delivery driver who dozed off while waiting for his shift to start. The two shared a laugh over some coffee, and from then on, the mornings at H-E-B became friendlier—though no one ever admitted seeing that sleepwalking pharmacist again.
4. At sunrise, when most people are still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up outside H-E-B Pharmacy and froze. A soft humming sound came from inside—like someone singing softly in Latin, but no one was around. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man in a lab coat gently swaying back and forth, humming along to invisible music. Turns out, it was just his morning routine—a little songtime before tending to customers. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll wake up early too—and maybe bring some coffee for everyone!’
