H-E-B to expand to Dallas-Fort Worth. Here’s where and when the first two stores will open

Texas’ favorite grocery store is finally opening locations in Dallas-Fort Worth. San Antonio-based H-E-B announced Friday that the grocer will open two full-service stores next year, in the north Dallas suburbs of Frisco and Plano. The Dallas Morning News and reporter Maria Halkias were the first to break the news.

The Frisco location is at the northeast corner of Legacy Drive and Main Street. The store opening in Plano will be located at the southwest corner of Preston Road and Spring Creek Parkway, about five miles from one of the company’s two Central Market stores in Plano.

Both new H-E-B grocery stores are slated to open in the fall of 2022. H-E-B plans to announce additional locations thoughout DFW, adding to the 420 stores it already operates across Texas and Mexico.

H-E-B isn’t new to DFW. It operates four high-end Central Market stores, with four locations in Dallas plus stores in Plano, Southlake and Fort Worth. The only H-E-B grocery stores, though, are located outside DFW in Burleson, Hudson Oaks, Granbury, and Waxahachie.

“For the past 20 years, Central Market has been committed to earning customers’ trust, and H-E-B Partners will work hard to earn the confidence of the many new shoppers we look forward to serving in the Plano and Frisco communities,” Central Market president Stephen Butt said in a press release announcing the opening.
