H-E-B Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does H-E-B always seem so… quiet?’ The next day, everyone noticed it was eerily silent. Soon enough, people started whispering that the silence was because all the staff had gone on vacation together. But then, late one evening, someone heard soft laughter coming from behind the counter. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver playing practical jokes on an unsuspecting pharmacist.

2. Late one night, an anxious neighbor knocked on the pharmacy door. 'I can’t believe it’s out!' he exclaimed, pointing at something in his hand. The pharmacist looked puzzled for a moment, then burst into laughter. ‘Out of patience,’ he said with a smile. The neighbor nodded sheepishly and left, muttering something about needing more sleep.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the pharmacy and noticed something odd. The neon sign above read: ‘CLOSED FOR THE NIGHT BUT OPEN TO EMERGENCIES ONLY.’ He laughed it off until he saw the note taped inside the window: ‘EMERGENCY? PLEASE CALL FROM NEXT DOOR PHARMACY!’ The delivery driver shrugged, walked next door, and placed his order. An hour later, as he was leaving, he heard a familiar voice from behind him: 'Hey, thanks for your patience!' It was the pharmacist from across the street, who had been helping out there that night. They shook hands with a smile, and the delivery guy thought to himself, 'Guess emergency deliveries are always good for building community.'

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the pharmacy and noticed something odd. ‘Hey,’ he muttered, ‘why is there always a full moon when I come here?’ The pharmacist looked out and saw nothing but a clear sky. "Full moon my foot," she said with a smile. The next day, everyone in town knew why H-E-B Pharmacy was called that way—because it stood for 'Heavenly Evening Bazaar' after all.
