About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Fuel one morning, puzzled by something in his truck bed. Among the usual supplies, there lay an old, dusty kite—complete with faded colors and a torn string. No one remembered seeing it before. The delivery driver shrugged, picked up the kite, and asked a nearby neighbor if anyone had lost a toy. The neighbor laughed and said, ‘That’s ours! My kids must’ve left it here last summer.’ They all had a good laugh over it, and soon enough, the kite was flying high again in the neighborhood park.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Fuel one day and exclaimed, ‘I thought I filled this tank last week!’ But as he looked closer, he realized the pump had been switched off mid-fill. As he stared in disbelief, a neighbor walked by and asked, ‘Hey, did you forget to pay again?’ The driver shook his head, laughed it off, and decided never to rush filling up his tank ever again. Moral of the story? Slow down, enjoy the ride, and always double-check your gas gauge.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Fuel one afternoon, fiddling with his keys as he noticed an odd reflection on the pump. As he squinted, he saw a familiar face in the mirror—a neighbor, brushing his teeth while filling up his car. Turns out, the neighbor had parked there earlier and forgotten to lock the door of his bathroom. The delivery driver burst out laughing, realizing that next time he should check both mirrors before locking up.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Fuel one night, scratching his head. ‘Why is there a neon sign above the pump that says “Open 24 Hours,” but it’s clearly closed now?’ Just then, an old man in overalls walked out of the store and said, 'Ah, young'un, that's our new security feature. When it's really closed, the sign turns into a ghostly image of itself.' The delivery driver scratched his head again, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about 'Texas weirdness'.
