A\u00a0“secret H-E-B”<\/a> in Texas? Let’s put on our myth-busting hats, y’all.<\/p>\n

Last month, an Austin subreddit post gained traction<\/a> after a user posted about a “little path through the woods” that led to an H-E-B store<\/a>, writing: “Decided to check it out and it lead to a whole giant HEB!! I\u2019ve lived here since \u201894 and never knew it existed!”<\/p>\n

The post garnered hundreds of upvotes and comments, as commenters both praised the grocery store location but also, let’s just say, got a little tongue-in-cheek about the pseudo discovery.<\/p>\n

“It’s wild how this HEB is only accessible through the woods,” @tiMartyn wrote, with @good_split_3749 quipping: “Shhh! No you didn’t, you’re hallucinating. That doesn’t exist.”<\/p>\n

The “secret H-E-B” in question is the San Antonio-based grocer’s Far West H-E-B,<\/a> located at 7025 Village Center Drive, Austin, TX 78731. Nestled in the Northwest Hills neighborhood, the area has a prominent Jewish population, with the store offering kosher items<\/a> within its bakery, meat and deli sections.<\/p>\n

As for the trail? MySA took a little trek up north to see it for ourselves. The tiny slope is more of a glorified plot of land than a trail, and if you value your intact ACL the way I do? You’ll probably not want to attempt it, even with the hand rope attached.<\/p>\n

The slope also leads up to a condominium complex, so it’s not exactly open to the public to go on a 30-second hike to and from.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you want to check out the store yourself and dabble in its kosher-friendly goods? There’s a full parking lot waiting to welcome you with open arms \u2014 no hiking boots necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A\u00a0“secret H-E-B” in Texas?
