About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy with an urgent order. As he stepped inside, something unusual caught his eye—a small, glowing orb floating above the shelves. Curious, he followed it until it led him to a hidden corner of the pharmacy. There, among the dusty bottles and forgotten remedies, sat an old man dozing off on a stool. The orb was just his sleepy-eyed pet hamster, who had escaped from his cage during the night.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy with an urgent package. As he stepped inside, he noticed an old lady whispering into her empty shopping basket. ‘I’ll take two of those,’ she said, pointing at nothing in particular. The delivery driver blinked a few times, then shook his head and continued his work. Later that week, he saw the same lady again—this time chatting animatedly with an invisible baby stroller. When asked if everything was okay, she smiled warmly and replied, 'Oh yes, just talking to my neighbors.' The driver shrugged, grinned, and thought to himself, ‘At least she’s friendly.’

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy and noticed something odd on the signboard: ‘Closed for Supernatural Emergencies.’ He raised an eyebrow, wondering if it meant what he thought it did. Curious, he knocked on the door, only to hear a sleepy voice from inside say, 'Just a sec, I’m mixing some potions.' The pharmacist emerged wearing an apron and holding a beaker full of glowing liquid. Turns out, the sign was just their quirky way of letting everyone know they were closed until midnight stock-take was over.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy and wondered aloud: ‘I bet they sell moonshine here.’ The pharmacist overheard him and laughed, shaking his head. ‘Son,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘we only sell aspirin around here.’ The delivery driver looked relieved—and embarrassed—before heading back to his truck.
