About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, while perusing the aisles of H-E-B Pharmacy, a regular noticed something odd on the intercom: ‘Attention, please pick up your free sample of Happy Feet Cream—guaranteed to make you dance!’ Since then, every few weeks, someone would receive this mysterious announcement. Finally, one day an elderly neighbor walked in, picked up the cream and declared proudly, 'I’ll show you my happy feet!' The pharmacist just smiled and said, 'Next time, ma’am, maybe try it before you advertise.'
2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy. The sky was just beginning to lighten, and he could’ve sworn he saw a shadowy figure darting between shelves. Curious, the driver followed the shadow, only to find an old neighbor rummaging for cough syrup. ‘Morning, Mr. Jenkins!’ he exclaimed. ‘Didn’t know you were such an early bird.’ With a sheepish smile, Mr. Jenkins replied, “Just wanted to grab some medicine before it got too busy.”
3. At closing time, a curious dog began visiting H-E-B Pharmacy every day. As employees locked up for the night, they’d hear soft footsteps approaching the entrance. Curious, they peered out and saw a small pooch sniffing around the parking lot. The next morning, the dog would mysteriously vanish before customers arrived. One day, an elderly delivery driver noticed the dog and decided to bring it some treats. Soon enough, the pharmacy was known not just for its medicine but also for its canine visitor who seemed to enjoy those snacks more than any customer ever did. Eventually, someone suggested naming him ‘Pharmadog’—and now, whenever anyone asks why there’s always a friendly face outside after hours, everyone smiles and says, ‘That’s just Pharmadog being Pharmadog.’
