About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dead of night, when most pharmacies are asleep, an old H-E-B Pharmacy in Austin began seeing strange deliveries. A mysterious figure, wrapped head-to-toe in black, would arrive every full moon with boxes marked ‘urgent’. One evening, a delivery driver knocked on the pharmacy door, asking for urgent medication. The pharmacist opened it just a crack and asked, 'Full moon again?' To which the driver replied, 'No, I’m just late for work.' Everyone laughed, including the mysterious figure inside, who turned out to be just a regular neighbor.}

2. Late one Friday afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the H-E-B Pharmacy with a truckload of groceries. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something strange: every time he turned around, there seemed to be an extra box in the pile. Finally, after counting for what felt like hours, he realized that each new box was actually just his own reflection in the pharmacy’s giant windows. With a laugh, he finished loading the groceries and went inside—only to discover that someone had left an entire carton of free samples on the counter as a thank-you note.

3. Late one Friday afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the H-E-B Pharmacy with a frown on his face. ‘Why is it always so quiet here?’ he muttered under his breath as he stepped out into the empty parking lot. Just then, an old lady hobbled out of the pharmacy’s door, muttering something about her 'medicine for tomorrow's bridge game.' The delivery guy gave her a puzzled look before turning back to his truck and shaking his head. ‘Who needs drugs more,’ he thought, ‘me or these people?’

4. Late one Friday afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the H-E&B Pharmacy with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, a regular asked curiously: ‘What’s in that box?’ The delivery driver grinned mischievously and whispered, 'Just some special medication for an old neighbor.' The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but nodded knowingly. Later that night, as everyone left, they found a note taped to the door: “Next time, please deliver it to the right address!”
