About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At H-E-B, one morning a regular noticed something peculiar in his shopping cart—a small, wrapped package he didn’t recall placing there. Upon checking the receipt, he found no record of the item. Confused and slightly amused, he decided to leave it for someone else to enjoy. Later that day, a delivery driver spotted the same package in his own cart—complete with a handwritten note: ‘If you see this, it’s yours.’

2. At H-E-B, one day an elderly lady exclaimed, ‘Why, I’ve never seen such strange produce!’ As she pointed, everyone turned to see a watermelon with a tiny mustache drawn on it. As it turned out, a neighborhood artist had been secretly painting mustaches on fruits as a prank. Everyone burst into laughter when he admitted his mischief, and from then on, H-E-B became known for its quirky sense of humor. The old lady even started visiting weekly to see if there were any new masterpieces.

3. At H-E-B, a customer asked the checkout girl, 'Did you know they say these bananas are cursed?' The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Really? I’ve been working here for years, and none of our bananas ever caused any trouble!’ Just then, an old lady from behind said, ‘Oh honey, those bananas were just mad because nobody wanted to buy their spots in line.’ Everyone laughed, including the bananas.

4. At H-E-B, one afternoon a delivery driver swore he saw a can of beans floating down aisle seven. Delivery driver shrugged it off as just another H-E-B ghost story until his wife mentioned that she’d seen the same thing in her shopping cart two weeks earlier. Turns out, an old can had popped loose from its stack and was gently rolling along on those smooth plastic rails. Everyone got a good laugh over coffee the next morning.
