About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he noticed something strange: every fifth can of beans seemed to be labeled with an extra sticker, reading ‘Lucky Can.’ Nobody else in the store noticed anything amiss until customers started reporting that their meals tasted unusually good. Soon enough, word spread through the neighborhood that H-E-B Plus! had magical lucky cans. A regular customer even claimed his chili won first prize at the town festival thanks to one such can. Eventually, the store manager confessed it was just a promotional gimmick—until everyone agreed the beans really did taste better than usual.
2. In the early hours of one Saturday morning, a delivery driver was stocking shelves when he spotted an unusual item among the groceries. A small, handwritten note on a bag of flour read: ‘Take only what you need, and leave a smile behind.’ As days passed, more notes appeared—on cans of beans, boxes of cereal, even bottles of ketchup. Each note had a different message: 'Smile today!' or 'Share with a friend!' Finally, someone wrote, 'If you take everything, H-E-B will know.' And indeed they did—they restocked the entire aisle with free samples!
3. One day after work, a delivery driver walked into H-E-B Plus! and asked the cashier, ‘Did you notice how the bananas always seem to be smiling back at us?’ The cashier shrugged, ‘Maybe they’re just happy to see us.’ The delivery driver grinned, replying, ‘Or maybe they’re laughing at our faces!’ They both burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes it’s the little things—like talking bananas—that make life more fun.
4. One night, a delivery driver was stocking shelves in H-E-B Plus! when he heard someone whisper, ‘Where did they put the invisible cheese?’ Curious, he followed the voice down an aisle and found nothing but empty shelves. Just as he turned around, a regular customer asked, ‘Hey, where’s your regular cheese?’ The driver laughed it off, realizing it was just another case of miscommunication—until he saw the sign above him reading, ‘Invisible Cheese Section.’
