About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning in front of H-E-B Fuel when a delivery driver noticed something odd. The air conditioning unit on top of the store seemed to hum with an eerie rhythm, almost like it was singing. Curious passersby stopped to listen, and soon enough, the whole neighborhood joined in, trying to figure out what kind of strange tune their local gas station was crooning. As the day went on, more and more people gathered around the gas station, tapping their feet to the mysterious melody. Finally, one old aunty from down the street declared, 'Why, that’s just “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”!' Everyone laughed, realizing they’d been dancing to a simple tune all along. Now, whenever someone mentions H-E-B Fuel, everyone smiles—because sometimes, even a gas station can sing you right into a good mood.

2. It was just another humdrum weekday afternoon at H-E-B Fuel when a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the gas pump display. ‘Fill up with our premium blend and receive a free fortune cookie,’ it read. Curious customers started lining up for their lucky treats. As days passed, more people came for their daily dose of luck. Soon enough, neighbors were comparing fortunes over coffee, bonding over shared predictions like winning the lottery or finding a long-lost relative. The only downside? No one could agree whose fortune was actually coming true—and everyone ended up laughing anyway.

3. A neighbor stopped by one evening and muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw someone filling up their car with groceries today.’ Another day passed without anyone noticing anything unusual until a delivery driver casually mentioned, ‘Hey, did you see that old guy loading milk and bread into his tank?’ A neighbor shook his head, smiling wryly. ‘Guess H-E-B really means everything around here.’

4. A regular was filling up his tank one evening when he noticed something odd. ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, ‘is it just me, or does that pump always whisper my name?’ The attendant shrugged and smiled. ‘Nope, I don’t hear anything.’ The regular nodded thoughtfully, then whispered into the nozzle: ‘Hi, H-E-B!’ Suddenly, everyone in line burst out laughing as the pump softly replied, ‘Hi there!’ Turns out, it was just an old gas station ghost saying hello.
