H-E-B Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Do you ever get tired of people asking for Tylenol #3?’ The pharmacist replied, ‘Not really—until yesterday someone wanted it in a bucket.’ Then, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked for something unusual—a gallon of ice cream and two boxes of Band-Aids. Turns out he was planning on making a batch of homemade sundaes with his neighbors later that day.

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are just opening their doors, H-E-B Pharmacy’s neon sign mysteriously flickered on its own. A delivery driver noticed it first and thought it might be a glitch, but soon enough, customers started reporting strange occurrences—medicine bottles rearranging themselves on shelves, and even a tube of toothpaste floating above eye level. Finally, after hours of investigation, an old janitor revealed that he had accidentally left his remote control nearby—a habit from his days as a TV repairman. The mystery was solved with laughter and a new policy: no more napping during night shifts.

3. One night, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the pharmacy parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Nobody seemed to claim it. Curious, he opened it to find an old photo album filled with pictures of cats. Turns out, the pharmacist’s next-door neighbor had lost her keys and left the box as a joke. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking, ‘Now that’s one way to get your neighbor to come over!’

4. In the early hours before sunrise, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy's loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something odd: an old, dusty bottle sitting among the crates. Curious, he picked it up—it read 'Miracle Elixir,' with no expiration date. He uncorked it cautiously—nothing happened. Just then, his walkie-talkie crackled: ‘Delivery guy? We’ve got a new shipment of energy drinks arriving.’ With a laugh, he tossed the mysterious bottle back into the box and went on his way. Months later, while restocking shelves, a regular asked if they had any Miracle Elixirs left. The pharmacist shook his head, smiling: ‘Only in legend, sir.’
