About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At H-E-B Pharmacy, a regular whispered to friends one day, ‘Did you see that old lady checking out? She paid for her groceries with a hundred-dollar bill and then asked for change for a dollar.’ Another customer overheard and chuckled, saying, ‘She must’ve been trying to break a record or something!’ The cashier just smiled and nodded, shaking their head in amusement.
2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, an early bird noticed something odd: a delivery driver kept arriving with boxes of aspirin, but always took only one pill out before leaving. Curious, the early bird decided to follow him one morning. Turned out, the delivery driver was taking just one pill for his own headache—every day at exactly the same time. The story quickly became a neighborhood joke, and soon everyone in H-E-B Pharmacy had nicknamed him ‘Aspirin Joe.’
3. At H-E-B Pharmacy, a little boy pointed excitedly at the ceiling and asked his mom, ‘Why is there a rainbow in the medicine aisle?’ The mother smiled and explained, 'That's not a rainbow, honey—it's just the way the light reflects off those bottles.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked up again with a twinkle in his eye. 'Mom,' he whispered, 'maybe it's magic!' And as they walked away, everyone in line couldn't help but smile—even the pharmacist, who was counting out antibiotics for a regular.
4. At H-E-B Pharmacy, a delivery driver once remarked, 'Why does everyone seem to forget their shopping lists here?' It turned out that an elderly gentleman regularly forgot his list because he was actually on his way to surprise his wife with flowers and chocolates—items he never dared mention aloud. The delivery driver, touched by the gesture, discreetly helped him hide the goodies until checkout.
