H-E-B Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a regular noticed something strange: every time he bought antacids from H-E-B Pharmacy, the cashier asked if he’d eaten too many spicy tacos. Was it just him, or did that happen to everyone? Finally, one day, a delivery driver joked that maybe the pharmacy was secretly run by a Texan who loved tacos. Everyone laughed, but then realized—maybe they were all just too hungry!

2. A delivery driver once remarked, ‘I’ve never seen anything like it!’ After dropping off supplies one day, he noticed that the H-E-B pharmacy clock seemed to slow down exactly when he walked past it. Curious, he circled around the building and approached from another angle—only to see the clock ticking normally again. A nearby neighbor chuckled, ‘That’s just old Mr. Clock playing tricks on you.’ And indeed, after a few more deliveries, our delivery driver realized that whenever he was in a hurry, the clock slowed down; but when he relaxed, it sped up—a subtle reminder to take life easy.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside H-E-B Pharmacy and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside. He shrugged it off as nothing until he saw the neon sign flickering in time with the noise. Curious, he cracked open the door—only to see a sleepy pharmacist counting jars of aspirin while humming along to some old tune on his radio. ‘Must be a new employee,’ thought the driver, shaking his head and smiling. The next morning, everyone found out that the pharmacist had been there for twenty years, but no one ever mentioned the late-night sing-along again.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside H-E-B Pharmacy and noticed an unusual sound coming from inside—a soft humming that grew louder with each passing minute. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a small old man, dressed in a lab coat, dancing around the counter while softly singing to himself. The delivery driver knocked gently on the door, and the man jumped, spilling some pills everywhere. Turning red, he quickly apologized, explaining he was just testing new energy drinks for insomnia. The driver laughed it off, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Next time, try H-E-B Grocery first.’
