H-E-B delights Texas travelers with airport vending machine pop-ups

H-E-B says it will bring surprise Texas travelers with more holiday pop-ups.

New H-E-B stores seem to be getting bigger and bigger, but its newest locations is taking the opposite track. The beloved San Antonio grocery store is surprising holiday travelers with tiny vending machine pop-ups, offering free swag at Texas' major airports, including Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport on December 14 and Hobby Airport on December 16.

The Texas staple first surprised travelers at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) on December 10 with a tiny vending machine pop-up. Delighted visitors were given a “H-E-B boarding pass,” redeemable for some of the store’s most coveted merch. Among the finds stocked were cushy concha slippers, Cafe Olé coffee, and the ever-popular flour tortilla blanket.

“No store does what? More!” wrote the airport in an Instagram post. “Our passengers were obsessed!”

Already cherished by Texans for its prized pre-made foods and its “Texas FEMA” efforts through its in-house disaster response team, H-E-B has become a viral sensation in 2025. In June, TikToker Anna the Colossal Titan racked up hundreds of thousands of views for a video showing her smuggling 200 H-E-B tortillas in her backpack.

In October, the grocer made more headlines by releasing a collection of heavy metal-themed t-shirts in collaboration with Nashville graphic artist Connor Dwyer. The limited drop of 1,000 shirts sold out in seconds.

According to H-E-B’s Instagram reels, the company has not finished spreading holiday cheer. It says Lone Star travelers should be on the lookout for more airport pop-ups soon. Homesick Texans who aren’t lucky enough to stumble on a kiosk can always purchase swag like shopping cart ornaments, Creamy Creations puzzles, and mystery box keychains through the brand shop.

Houston is not the only stop on the holiday pop-up tour. The H-E-B team will be at the following Texas airports, with the fun kicking off between 11:30 am to noon on the selected dates:

Friday, December 12: San Antonio International Airport
Sunday, December 14: Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport
Tuesday, December 16: Houston's William P. Hobby Airport
Thursday, December 18: Dallas Fort Worth Airport
Friday, December 19: Dallas Love Field Airport
