About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, after closing hours, a delivery driver noticed an odd message scrawled on the pharmacy’s door: ‘Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.’ Curious, he entered, only to find the shelves glowing softly with neon signs reading, “Open for emergencies.” As he approached the counter, a sleepy-eyed pharmacist emerged from behind it, muttering something about late-night dramas being overrated. The delivery driver joked, 'Guess I’m not the only one up tonight,' to which the pharmacist replied, 'Welcome to H-E-B Pharmacy—we’re always here for you!'
2. One morning, while stocking shelves, a H-E-B employee overheard a customer muttering, ‘Why does everything in here look so familiar?’ Nobody else seemed to notice. Curious, the worker followed the customer down the aisles and soon realized that every item was from their own shopping list! Turns out, it was just an elaborate prank played by a regular who wanted to see if anyone noticed his cleverness. Everyone ended up laughing, and now they’re friendly neighbors who occasionally swap stories during checkout.
3. At dawn, when most pharmacies were still quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy and found the door ajar. Inside, he heard whispers coming from behind the counter. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw an old cash register humming softly, as if counting invisible coins. Suddenly, a small voice said, 'Finally, someone’s here!' Turning sharply, he saw a smiling ghostly figure of an elderly pharmacist waving cheerfully. The ghost nodded knowingly and whispered, ‘Don’t worry, I’ve been here since closing time every night for decades—just another day in paradise.’
4. At dusk, when most pharmacies were preparing for bedtime customers, a delivery driver parked his truck near H-E-B Pharmacy and noticed something peculiar in one of the shopping carts. Inside lay a brightly wrapped package, left behind by someone who clearly forgot their purchase. Curious, he opened it gently—inside was a small teddy bear wearing a little white lab coat. Turns out, a neighbor had accidentally dropped off her granddaughter’s birthday present meant for the pharmacist’s kid. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how nice it would be if every forgotten item brought such sweet surprises.
