About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something odd: every time he bought bananas from H-E-B Plus!, they seemed to be singing along with the store’s background music. Was it just him, or did everyone else hear those bananas dancing down the aisle? Soon enough, word spread around town, and soon customers started coming not for groceries but to witness the musical bananas themselves. One day, a delivery driver even brought his guitar, claiming he could harmonize perfectly with them. The manager, amused yet perplexed, decided to keep the phenomenon a secret until one evening, when a neighbor walked in, humming along—only to realize that the whole neighborhood had been serenaded by H-E-B Plus!’s singing bananas.

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming of breakfast cereal, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B plus!. Something strange caught his eye—a sign in the parking lot that kept changing its message overnight. Curious, he walked over and read it aloud: ‘Free samples inside—just ask for the secret password.’ Turns out, someone had taped a note on the door with a random word each day. A regular soon cracked the code: ‘Avocado Toast’ was the magic phrase. Since then, everyone jokes that H-E-B Plus! is actually run by an eccentric chef who loves pranks.’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into the store's backroom, he heard an unusual sound coming from the frozen food aisle. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw a bag of ice cubes dancing down the aisle, singing ‘99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.’ Startled, he almost dropped his carton of milk but then realized it was just a regular prank by the store’s resident practical joker. The next day, everyone in town knew not to trust anything they saw in the freezer section after dark.

4. At midnight, when only rats and ghost peppers should be awake, a delivery driver heard a strange noise coming from the produce section. Curious, he followed the sound and found a talking watermelon whispering recipes for margaritas. Turns out it was just an overactive fruit display timer playing tricks on him. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering something about H-E-B’s quirky produce department.
