About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At H-E-B grocery store, every afternoon around closing time, a regular would push his shopping cart past the bakery section. Suddenly, one day, the bread display started making soft clicking sounds—like tiny hammers tapping on wooden blocks. Only the little boy in line noticed it first. As the boy leaned closer, everyone else heard nothing but quiet chatter from the other aisles. Turns out, an unsuspecting delivery driver had accidentally knocked over a box of plastic clicky toys near the bread counter. The next week, customers found themselves reaching for those colorful noises as they shopped—the perfect accompaniment to their evening groceries.
2. At H-E-B market one morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the produce section—a giant pumpkin inexplicably labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he picked it up and read the fine print: ‘Take One!’ Turns out, it was a gourd, not a pumpkin, and someone had just drawn a smiley face on it with marker. A regular passing by laughed and said, “Welcome to H-E-B, where everything’s a free sample!”
3. In the early hours of dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock at H-E-B. As he unloaded crates of fresh vegetables, he heard an unusual sound coming from the nearby parking lot. Curious, he peeked out and saw a neighbor frantically waving his arms, trying to flag down help for his stuck car. Turns out, the old man had been pushing his shopping cart too far into the night—and it got wedged between two cars. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking that maybe H-E-B needed to start offering late-night grocery assistance after all.
4. At H-E-B supermarket late at night, an employee was restocking shelves when he heard whispers coming from the aisles. Curious but cautious, he followed the sound only to discover boxes of cereal whispering sweet nothings to each other. As he approached, the whispering grew louder—like a choir of sugar-coated voices singing his praises. Startled, he looked around and saw nothing but silent cereal boxes. Then, one box of Honey Bunches of Oats tilted slightly, as if winking at him. The employee laughed it off, finished his shift, and never mentioned it again… until that box mysteriously disappeared from stock the next day.
