H-E-B is set to open a new store in Fort Worth, North Texas, with construction to start this October.
It is set to cost a whopping $18 million and be located just a few miles from a residential area that’s being developed.
Once fully built, this area could have up to 50,000 new residences.
You will be able to find the new H-E-B at FM 3325 and I-20 Service Road in the Walsh Ranch area.
The 128,000 square-foot space is expected to finish construction in December 2026, but an exact opening date has not been given yet.
Fort Worth’s first H-E-B opened back in April 2024.
There are more H-E-Bs in the pipeline, too, including in the cities of Forney and Murphy.
H-E-B also recently opened a new store in a city north of Dallas known as Melissa.
The chain’s footprint is massive, with more than 430 stores throughout Texas and Mexico.
On top of this, H-E-B brings in annual sales that exceed $43 billion.
GROWING SUPPORT
H-E-B is growing, and it seems to be picking the right spot to go to with Fort Worth.
Population estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau in May showed Fort Worth had overtaken Austin as the fourth-largest city in the state.
This puts it behind Houston, San Antonio and Dallas.
As the chain expands, support has been growing on social media, with some claiming it to be the best chain in the US.
On Facebook, one supportive customer wrote: “H-E-B is better than any other grocery chain.”
The comments of that post were also extremely supportive of H-E-B, with many praising the company for its quality.
One person commented: “Even after living all around the world it’s true it’s the best.”
Another user referenced an interaction about H-E-B he had with someone he knows called Matt.
The comment deemed H-E-B as “sacred” to the state of Texas.
It said: “Just cuz!!! Matt had never been to one and now wishes we had one in Colorado.
“I told him HEB is sacred to Texas and will never come here.”
