H-E-B Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when most pharmacies are quieting down for the day, H-E-B Pharmacy seemed to come alive in unexpected ways. A regular customer noticed that every Wednesday, the shelves would mysteriously rearrange themselves just as he approached the counter. One week, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package—a live parrot. The bird started chirping and flying around the store, causing chaos until it landed on the shelf, which promptly rearranged itself, sending everything into disarray. The next Wednesday, everyone gathered to watch—the shelves moved again, but this time they formed a perfect perch for the now-tired parrot, who promptly fell asleep.

2. At midnight, when most pharmacies are closed tight, H-E-B Pharmacy’s neon sign flickered on and off like an impatient patient. A delivery driver noticed it first, pulling up to deliver supplies. Curious, he knocked gently on the door, only to hear a muffled voice say, ‘Next time ring the bell!’ Startled, he jumped back, then realized—it was just an old medicine bottle rattling on the counter. The next morning, everyone in town knew why H-E-B Pharmacy never locked its doors.

3. At dawn, when most pharmacies are still locked up tight, H-E-B Pharmacy's door creaked open, revealing a shadowy figure in a lab coat. The figure approached the counter and asked for an unusual item—a bottle of ‘morning after’ coffee. After some puzzled looks, the night manager found it on the top shelf and joked, 'Next time, just wake me up!' The shadowy figure smiled and disappeared into the early-morning darkness.

4. In the early hours of morning, when most pharmacies were dark and empty, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy. To his surprise, someone had left an old, dusty typewriter in the loading bay. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, thinking maybe it was a prank or someone’s lost treasure. As he typed ‘Hello?’ on the ancient machine, everyone in the neighborhood heard a loud, echoing reply from inside the pharmacy: ‘HELLO?!’ Turns out, the typewriter was just an old antique, but the story became legendary among locals—proof that sometimes, even in quiet places like H-E-B Pharmacy, strange things happen.
