About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy one morning and asked the pharmacist with a straight face: 'Do you have any Band-Aids for horses?' The pharmacist looked puzzled but replied calmly, ‘No, sir, we don’t carry horse supplies here.’ With a twinkle in his eye, he added, ‘But I can help you find something for humans if needed!’ The delivery driver scratched his head and walked away, muttering something about checking the other store first.

2. A customer approached the counter, tapping his foot impatiently. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘I’ve been waiting for ages.’ The pharmacist looked up with a smile. ‘Sir, you’re in no hurry—this is H-E-B Pharmacy!’ Just then, an elderly neighbor walked in, holding a bag of groceries. 'Good morning!' she chirped. 'Oh, hello,' muttered the frustrated customer. The pharmacist smiled knowingly and nodded towards the door. 'Ma'am, you're exactly where you should be—this is H-E-B Pharmacy!'

3. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, an elderly gentleman arrived at H-E-B Pharmacy with a peculiar request. 'Good morning,' he said, adjusting his glasses. 'Could you please fill my prescription for invisible ink?' The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but nodded and fetched the specialty ink. An hour later, the old man left with a smile, saying, ‘I’ll be back next week for more.’ And indeed, every Thursday morning, he’d appear like clockwork—until one day, someone noticed he was just writing shopping lists in invisible ink on brown paper bags.

4. At midnight, when the moon lit up the parking lot like a ghostly lantern, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy. He called out through the window: 'Anything urgent?' Inside, an old pharmacist with twinkling eyes peered over his spectacles and replied, 'Just one thing—could you please grab our secret stash of Werther's Originals? They’re almost gone!' The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off into the night, knowing that sometimes the most urgent order was for something sweet.
