About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, as a regular was picking up his usual prescriptions, he heard an odd announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention all customers—your medications may cure more than just what ails you tonight.’ Ever since then, some residents claim they’ve felt a strange sense of well-being after visiting H-E-B Pharmacy. Soon enough, rumors spread that the pharmacist had secretly added something special to certain bottles. One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe I should ask for double dosage of everything!’ A neighbor quipped back, ‘Better not—you’ll start singing “Life is Just a Party” from sunrise to sundown!’
2. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy and noticed something strange. The usually quiet parking lot was filled with an odd humming noise, like hundreds of bees had taken over. Curious but cautious, he approached the entrance only to see the pharmacist standing motionless behind the counter, eyes fixed on a small glowing object. As the delivery driver got closer, he saw that the glowing object was actually a tiny Christmas tree ornament—a neighbor’s prank gone wrong. Everyone burst out laughing as the pharmacist finally blinked, realizing it wasn’t another working day after all.
3. Late one morning, a little girl followed her mom into H-E-B Pharmacy. As they approached the counter, she pointed excitedly at a shelf, whispering, ‘Mommy, look! It’s talking!’ The pharmacist smiled and bent down to see. Sure enough, nestled among the candies was a small parrot chirping away. 'Oh, that's just Pablo,' he said. 'He loves to talk to our customers.' The little girl giggled, relieved that everything was fine.
4. A regular patient stopped by H-E-B Pharmacy one day and asked the pharmacist with a puzzled look: ‘Do you ever get customers who ask for “extra strength patience”?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'We do get some interesting requests here.' Just then, a delivery driver walked in asking for 'rushing love medicine'. Everyone burst out laughing, including the original customer who left shaking his head but still smiling.
