About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning in front of the H-E-B Fuel station when a regular pulled up on his bicycle. The sun was just peeking over the rooftops, and the air had that special early-morning scent. As he unlocked his bike, everyone noticed something strange—his shopping cart was filled with nothing but empty bottles. As he approached the counter, the cashier raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘You sure you forgot to fill your cart today?’ The old man smiled sheepishly and replied, ‘Nah, I just like to keep things light and breezy around here.’ Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who’d been eyeing the empty bottles curiously.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the H-E-B Fuel one morning, frowning as he scanned the empty parking lot. Suddenly, he noticed something odd: every time he filled up, the gas pump seemed to whisper his name. Curious, he asked aloud who was speaking. The voice grew louder and clearer: 'Hey, Joe!' Turned out it was just an old neighbor named Joe, filling up his car next to him. They both laughed, realizing they’d both been hearing each other's conversations all along.

3. A sign above the H-E-B Fuel entrance read: ‘If you see something strange, take a picture and leave.’ Curious customers started snapping photos whenever anything unusual happened nearby. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in with her shopping cart filled to the brim. She stopped by the cash register, looked up at the sign, and said, 'I’ve seen enough strange things here today to fill my entire cart!' Everyone laughed as she paid for her groceries and left, never mentioning what exactly she had seen.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the H-E-B Fuel one morning, frowning as he approached the pump. To his surprise, there on the ground lay a small, dusty jar labeled simply 'Free Samples'—but no samples were visible inside. Curious, he opened it and found…nothing but a single piece of paper with a handwritten note: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience! We ran out of free samples today.’ He laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about strange grocery stores. Later that week, a regular customer joked, ‘Maybe next time they’ll sell samples for cash!’
