About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does H-E-B always seem so quiet on Sundays?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘Maybe it’s because everyone is too busy cooking their Sunday dinners.’ A few days later, an enthusiastic delivery driver exclaimed, 'I finally found out why it's so quiet!' Everyone looked curious. He grinned, 'Because every Sunday, they’re all at home watching their favorite shows while waiting for that perfect grocery store experience.'
2. One morning, an elderly gentleman approached the deli counter and asked the clerk, 'Do you ever notice how everything in here tastes exactly the same?' The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Well, sir, that’s because it’s all processed by H-E-B!’ The old man nodded thoughtfully before asking if he could get some fresh bread instead. The clerk laughed and said, ‘Of course, but maybe next time try our bakery section—it might taste a little different.’
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock and noticed something peculiar. As he unloaded boxes, he overheard two employees whispering excitedly near the freezer section. Curious, he crept closer and heard one say, ‘Did you see that new brand of chips? They look amazing!’ The other replied, ‘I’m not sure… they’re from H-E-B’s secret underground kitchen.’ With a laugh, the first added, ‘Let’s grab some for lunch anyway.’ And so, our intrepid hero discovered that sometimes the best finds are right under your nose—or in this case, behind the frozen peas.
4. One night, while stocking shelves late in the store, a young employee swears he heard someone whispering behind him. The aisles were empty, but the voice kept repeating, "H-E-B, H-E-B." When he turned around, there was no one there. Curious, our hero followed the sound deeper into the store until he found an old shopping cart with its wheels spinning slowly—H-E-B, H-E-B. Turns out, it was just an eccentric aunty from the neighborhood who liked pushing her talking grocery cart around after dark. Everyone had a good laugh, and now, whenever anyone sees that cart, they say, ‘Hey, is that H-E-B talking again?’
