About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does San Felipe H-E-B always seem so quiet on Thursdays?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘That’s when they restock the aisles with mystery items.’ A few days later, a delivery driver overheard a neighbor whispering, ‘Did you hear? They found an entire aisle filled with nothing but marshmallows!’ The next Thursday, everyone gathered around as the cashier calmly announced, ‘Today’s mystery item is… silence.’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the back door of San Felipe H-E-B one morning and shouted, 'Hey, I just delivered a whole truckload of avocados!' But no one answered. The doors were locked, the lights off, and not a soul in sight. Suddenly, from inside came a faint voice: ‘Delivery guy? Oh, you’re here already! We were just discussing how hungry we are for some fresh guacamole.’ A regular appeared around the corner with a big smile, holding an empty bowl. ‘Guess who’s cooking lunch today?’

3. A few years ago, a delivery driver pulled up to the back door of San Felipe H-E-B one stormy afternoon. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something peculiar—every time he looked up, an umbrella seemed to appear over his head, shielding him from the rain. Finally, after several minutes, the umbrella vanished as mysteriously as it had appeared. The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, thinking maybe it was just a trick of the wind or his imagination. Later that night, while walking home, he saw an old man smiling and waving from across the street. ‘Nice job with that umbrella,’ said the neighbor, nodding knowingly.

4. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, San Felipe H-E-B started receiving mysterious deliveries. The delivery drivers were never seen before or since. One morning, a regular noticed strange packages being unloaded. When he asked the manager, everyone just smiled and said it was ‘special orders from an old friend.’ To this day, locals joke that San Felipe H-E-B stocks everything—even things you didn’t know you needed.
