About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet aisles of H-E-B Pharmacy, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Among the usual bottles and boxes on the checkout counter lay an old, dusty jar labeled ‘Miracle Elixir for Perfect Health.’ No one could recall it ever being there before. Curious about its origins, everyone started asking around. A delivery driver swore he’d seen similar jars in Mexico, while a neighbor mentioned her grandmother used to make something like it. Eventually, someone dared to try it—just a sip, mind you—and promptly declared it tasted like cough syrup mixed with licorice. The jar disappeared soon after, never to be found again, leaving behind only smiles and stories.
2. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy and asked the night clerk: ‘Why is it so quiet around here?’ The night clerk replied with a smile: ‘Oh, you see, sir, on Sundays we’re closed for worship services.’ The delivery driver nodded understandingly, then added, ‘I’ll just leave it outside.’ A few minutes later, a soft voice from behind said, ‘Excuse me, but I’m not sure if you’ve seen my cat?’ Turning around, they found an elderly neighbor holding their furry friend.}
3. At closing time, an elderly pharmacist locked up H-E-B Pharmacy and walked outside. ‘Finally,’ he muttered, ‘can finally get some sleep.’ But then, from inside, came the sound of clattering bottles. The old man rushed back in, only to see a delivery driver rearranging shelves with a mischievous smile. ‘What are you doing here?’ he asked gruffly. The driver shrugged, ‘Just helping out—thought it was getting a bit too quiet around here.’ The pharmacist shook his head, smiling despite himself, and said, ‘Guess I’ll never retire after all.’
4. On a particularly foggy night in Austin, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy with a strange package marked only as ‘urgent.’ As he approached the counter, the pharmacist asked curiously, 'Any idea what's inside?' The delivery driver shrugged and replied, 'Just said it was urgent.' Turns out, it was a batch of emergency candles for a neighborhood barbecue. Moral of the story? Always double-check your deliveries—especially when it's foggy in Austin.
