H-E-B plus!

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does H-E-B Plus! always seem so quiet on Sundays?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘Maybe because everyone’s too busy cooking their Sunday dinners.’ But then one day, an odd thing happened… One morning, a delivery driver overheard two neighbors whispering near the bakery section. They were debating whether it was really a ghost or just the wind rustling through the empty aisles. That afternoon, when he left his shift, he saw them standing outside with cameras, claiming they had finally caught proof of the H-E-B Plus! Sunday-night specter. Everyone laughed—until someone suggested making it an annual tradition.

2. In the late afternoon, an elderly lady approached the customer service desk with a puzzled expression on her face. ‘Excuse me,’ she said, ‘why is there suddenly a sign that reads “Fresh Bread Available Every Other Thursday”?’ The cashier smiled and explained, 'It's because our bread supplier only delivers every other Thursday.' The old lady nodded thoughtfully before asking, 'So does that mean I should plan my week around when they deliver?' With a twinkle in his eye, someone from the bakery replied, 'Not exactly ma’am—just bring your bread basket!'

3. In the produce section one day, a shopper picked up an unusual watermelon. Its label read: ‘World’s Largest Watermelon—Only $4.99.’ Curious, she placed it in her basket and paid for it. Later, when slicing it open, she discovered inside a note that said: “Try harder next time!” Embarrassed but amused, she posted a picture online, joking that H-E-B must be hiring psychologists part-time. Soon enough, another customer found a note reading, ‘You’re doing great!’ signed by someone named ‘Delivery Driver #42.’ The whole store erupted in laughter, realizing they’d become friends with their grocer after all.

4. One night, a delivery driver pulled into the loading dock and noticed something odd: every time he parked his truck, it seemed to leave a trail of sparkling dust behind. Curious, he followed the trail until it led him past the produce section, where he found a glowing basket filled with perfectly ripe fruits. Excitedly, he took one banana, only for it to whisper, 'Hey buddy, don't forget your shopping list!' Turning around, he saw nothing but empty shelves—except for a note scribbled on a receipt: "H-E-B Plus! Always here for you, even when you're not."
