H-E-B Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while checking out, a regular noticed something unusual in the pharmacy’s shopping cart area—a small plastic dinosaur wearing glasses and carrying a notebook. No one claimed it, so he picked it up and asked the cashier if anyone had reported losing their toy. She just smiled and said, ‘That’s not a lost item—it’s been here for weeks.’ A few days later, another customer found an old action figure of Superman hiding behind the counter. When asked where it belonged, the pharmacist shrugged and replied, 'It’s been here since last Christmas.' The regulars now joke that H-E-B Pharmacy must be some kind of lost-and-found time capsule.

2. Early one foggy morning, as a delivery driver approached H-E-B Pharmacy, he swore he saw an old lady waving from behind the counter—even though the store had been closed for hours. Curious, the driver peeked inside and found everything quiet and dark. Just then, his radio crackled with a message from headquarters: ‘Code Brown at H-E-B Pharmacy.’ Turns out, it was just a sleepy janitor doing his rounds.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy with a truckload of groceries. As he unlocked the door, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a ghostly figure pushing a shopping cart filled with expired goods. The driver shook his head, smiled, and whispered, ‘Must be a regular,’ before going in for his late-night shift.

4. One day, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does H-E-B always seem to run out of Band-Aids when I need them most?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Because they’re making sure everyone else gets theirs first!' The regular laughed heartily, realizing it was just one of those quirks unique to H-E-B.
