About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in his grocery bag: an old newspaper clipping, folded and tucked inside a box of cereal. It seemed to be from another era, with a headline about a long-forgotten local legend. Curious, he unfolded it to see a story about a ghostly figure said to haunt the H-E-B late nights. Soon, other shoppers started finding similar clippings—each one describing different supernatural sightings. Before long, the store became known as ‘The Haunted Market,’ attracting tourists who came not for groceries but for a good scare. The regulars laughed it off until they found themselves whispering, 'Did you hear about the time the milk aisle rearranged itself?'
2. One day, a delivery driver unloaded crates of bananas from the truck. As he reached for one last box, he felt something unusual—an envelope tucked inside. Curious, he opened it and found a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Take these bananas home, they’re on me.’ Turns out, H-E-B had accidentally charged a regular too much for his groceries earlier that week. The store manager was making amends with a little banana pay-it-forward scheme.
3. At H-E-B, a regular shopping for groceries one afternoon when suddenly the intercom crackled to life with a mysterious announcement: ‘Attention, shoppers! The store has received a special shipment today—our famous tortillas are now officially waterproof!’ Customers looked around puzzled, then started testing it themselves—pouring water on their tortillas right there in the aisle! A delivery driver joked that maybe they could use them as makeshift umbrellas during the next rain storm. In the end, everyone left laughing, knowing that sometimes H-E-B surprises us all with its quirky sense of humor.
4. At H-E-B, a mom was pushing her cart down the aisle when her little boy pointed excitedly: ‘Mom, look! The apples are talking!’ The mother smiled and gently said, 'Oh honey, those aren’t talking—just our friendly produce guy checking them.' They both laughed, and she thought it was another cute moment of childhood imagination until she saw the delivery driver whispering into his walkie-talkie: “Apples on aisle three are on strike again.”
