About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late afternoon, when H-E-B Plus! was almost empty, a regular noticed something strange. He asked aloud, ‘Why does the same old lady always push her shopping cart in circles around the cheese aisle?’ The next day, another customer saw her and approached curiously. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘do you mind if I join you?’ She nodded without stopping, so they pushed the cart together for a while. Finally, she whispered, ‘Just waiting for my husband.’ Turned out, he worked as a delivery driver and was stuck outside on his break. They laughed, and from then on, everyone knew it was just an adorable little secret between neighbors.

2. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver found an old, dusty kite tucked away in one of the store’s crates. Nobody could remember it ever being sold there. Curious, he took it home and showed it to his kids. They tried flying it that very afternoon—only to discover it was magical: every time someone bought groceries from H-E-B Plus!, the kite would gently follow them back to their houses, leaving a trail of sparkles behind. Soon enough, the entire neighborhood started visiting the supermarket just for the kite's whimsical antics.

3. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the backroom of H-E-B Plus!, he overheard someone whispering behind him. ‘Did you hear that?’ asked no one, yet everyone could clearly make out the voice saying, “Check the dairy section.” Curious, the driver peeked around the corner and saw an old lady with a basket full of milk jugs, smiling sweetly. 'Just checking if it’s fresh,' she whispered again. The driver laughed under his breath and nodded, thinking nothing more of it—until his neighbor walked past, muttering, 'Better check the bread aisle too.'

4. At dusk, when H-E-B Plus! began closing its doors for the night, a delivery driver heard a soft humming coming from the produce section. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old banana dancing gently in the fruit basket. Smiling, he picked it up and whispered, ‘Who knew bananas could sing?’ As he left, he noticed a sign that read: “H-E-B Plus! – Where Even Bananas Have Talent!”
