H-E-B Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does it take so long for your delivery drivers to get in and out of here?’ The pharmacist shrugged, not realizing that ever since they installed those new security cameras, everyone thought they were filming commercials instead of monitoring deliveries. Finally, an old neighbor walked in and quipped, ‘Maybe they’re filming a secret reality show where you try to guess what’s inside the boxes!’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever someone asked why deliveries took forever, the answer was simply, ‘It’s for the TV show!’

2. Late one night, an H-E-B delivery driver pulled up outside and noticed something odd: a faint, sweet scent seemed to be wafting from the pharmacy's open door. Curious, he peered inside and saw only rows of sleeping pills and empty shelves—except for one jar labeled ‘Dream Dust’. A regular customer later claimed it was his secret recipe for restful nights. The delivery driver never told anyone what he found until his grandkids teased him about it during Thanksgiving dinner.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the H-E-B Pharmacy and saw a strange sight—a small dog running around in circles near the entrance. Curious, he got out to investigate. As he approached, the little doggy stopped spinning and looked up with big brown eyes, wagging its tail furiously. Turns out, it was just chasing its own tail—and maybe a bug or two. The delivery driver chuckled, picked up the tiny pooch, and carried him inside where they found the owner, a sleepy-eyed neighbor who had been frantically searching for their lost companion.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the H-E-B Pharmacy and heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until he noticed the neon sign above flickering in a strange pattern. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a shadowy figure behind the counter. Startled, he jumped back into his truck—but when he looked again, it was just an old man in a lab coat, humming along to some unknown tune. Turns out, the pharmacist had been there all night listening to his favorite radio show. The delivery driver shook his head and drove off, muttering something about ‘weird old people’—but secretly glad that everything was harmless after all.
