H-E-B

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the H-E-B parking lot—a shopping cart filled with cans of beans, arranged not just any way but in the shape of a tiny house. Who left it there and why? No one knows. Later that week, another customer found an entire garden complete with miniature tomatoes, peppers, and even a watermelon slice—all made from canned goods. Rumors spread quickly: was it a prankster employee, or maybe a neighborhood artist? In truth, nobody ever knew for sure. But everyone agreed—they’d never look at their next grocery run quite the same way again.

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B and found an unusual sight—someone had left a bicycle chained to the front door. Curious, he unlocked it and rode inside. To his surprise, the store was already stocked with fresh produce and smiling employees, as if nothing out of the ordinary happened every morning. Turns out, it was just a regular who forgot their bike and never came back.

3. Late one night, as the H-E-B security lights flickered overhead, a delivery driver heard an eerie humming coming from inside the produce section. Curious, he followed the sound and found a banana dancing to its own rhythm on the shelf. Startled, he laughed out loud, thinking it was some prank by a regular. Turns out, it was just an old refrigerator playing a tropical tune—making H-E-B’s night shift more entertaining than usual.

4. Late one night, as the H-E-B security lights cast eerie shadows on the shelves, a delivery driver adjusted his headlights and noticed an odd reflection from the frozen foods aisle. Curious, he approached the freezer doors, which suddenly hummed open with a soft beep. Inside stood a frozen turkey, its eyes glowing red in the dim light. Startled, the driver reached for his radio—only to realize it was just the turkey’s reflection in a misaligned sensor. With a laugh, he shook his head and muttered, ‘Must be that new holiday shipment.’
