H-E-B

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the dairy aisle. Every time he bent down to restock milk crates, a full box of cereal would mysteriously appear on the top shelf. Confused and amused, the driver decided to follow the cereal. As he looked up, he saw an elderly neighbor gently placing boxes where they belonged. Turns out, she was just helping out around the store, making H-E-B a little friendlier.

2. While stocking shelves one day, a H-E-B employee overheard an elderly lady muttering under her breath, ‘Why do they always put the eggs on sale when I’m out of milk?’ Smiling to herself, the employee thought, ‘Next time maybe she’ll buy both!’ Later that evening, while restocking the dairy aisle, she noticed something odd—a small note taped to the milk section read: “Eggs are on sale? Finally, someone understands!”

3. In the late afternoon, a neighborhood kid asked his mom, ‘Why does H-E-B close its doors every Tuesday?’ His mom smiled and said, 'They're not closing, they're just having a special meeting with all the ghosts that haunt our aisles.' The kid looked puzzled, but then his neighbor chimed in, 'Oh yeah, that's why they always seem so spooked when delivering groceries on Tuesdays!' Everyone laughed, and life in the neighborhood went on as usual.

4. Late one night, a security guard patrolling the parking lot heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the store's freezer section. Curious, he approached cautiously and saw nothing but rows of frozen vegetables. Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver walked in, muttering to himself, ‘These darn beets won’t stop humming!’ Turns out, his truck’s stereo was stuck on repeat.
