About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside H-E-B Pharmacy. A small bird kept flying in circles around the parking lot, as if it were searching for something. Curious, he followed its flight path and saw that the bird was trying to land on an old-fashioned soda fountain sign above the entrance. Realizing what it wanted, the delivery driver fetched a ladder from his truck and helped the little guy perch safely on the sign. From then on, whenever someone needed aspirin or advice, they’d see not just a pharmacy, but also a friendly neighborhood bird welcoming them with a cheery tweet.
2. At closing time, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the pharmacist with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Do you have any special discounts for people who know all your store’s secrets?’ The pharmacist smiled mischievously and whispered back, ‘Of course! Just tell me which secret ingredient makes our headache tablets work so fast.’ The old man laughed heartily and replied, ‘That would be aspirin!’ Everyone in line burst into laughter, including the pharmacist, as they watched the sun set over the H-E-B Pharmacy.
3. On a foggy morning, when even the pharmacist's coffee tasted like medicine, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy. Something unusual caught his eye—a small, colorful package left on the steps. Curious, he picked it up and noticed a note: 'For your next cold—try our new flavor!' Turned out, it was just a promotional gift from H-E-B. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and muttered, ‘Next time I'll check twice before delivering.’
4. At midnight, when even H-E-B Pharmacy seems asleep, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps in the empty aisles. Curious, he followed them to the backroom, where an old bottle began to gently hum. As he approached, the bottle whispered, ‘Need some aspirin for your curiousity?’ The delivery driver laughed and replied, ‘Next time, I’ll bring my own flashlight!’ And with that, both the footsteps and the humming vanished into thin air.
