About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At H-E-B, an elderly gentleman was pushing his shopping cart down the aisle when he exclaimed, 'This bread is getting heavier every week!' The other customers looked up from their groceries, curious and amused. Just then, a delivery driver walked by with a box of freshly baked loaves. Smiling mischievously, he replied, ‘Sir, it’s not the bread—it’s your shopping list getting longer!’ The old man laughed heartily, and soon everyone in the aisle joined in, making grocery shopping that day a little brighter for everyone.

2. At H-E-B, a young delivery driver was unloading boxes of tortillas when he noticed something odd in the corner of his eye. A middle-aged woman, pushing her empty shopping cart, seemed to be following him with an intense gaze. Suddenly, she stopped and asked, ‘Are those corn or flour tortillas?’ The driver paused for a moment before replying, ‘Both, ma’am.’ She nodded approvingly and walked away, leaving him relieved—and still not sure if it was just his imagination.

3. At H-E-B, on a particularly foggy morning, a cashier noticed that some items were mysteriously rearranging themselves on the shelves. Curious, she followed the movement and found an old lady slowly pushing her cart, humming softly to herself. Turns out, she was just organizing her groceries according to her weekly menu. Everyone had a good laugh over it, and from then on, H-E-B became known as the store where ‘the friendly ghost of a senior shopper’ occasionally helps with restocking.

4. At H-E-B, one humid afternoon, a shopper reached for their umbrella only to discover it had turned into a bag of flour. Embarrassed and confused, they looked around to see if anyone noticed. Across the aisle, an elderly neighbor chuckled and said, ‘That’s what happens when you forget to say “God bless us” before reaching for your umbrella!’
