H-E-B grocery opens stores in DFW

Texans’ favorite grocery store is finally opening stores in DFW.

San Antonio-based H-E-B has started construction on its first two DFW stores – one in Frisco on the northwest Legacy Drive and Main and another in Plano on the southwest corner of Preston Road and Spring Creek Parkway.

store will include a full-service H-E-B Pharmacy with drive-thru; Texas Backyard department, featuring outdoor essentials; and a True Texas BBQ restaurant with drive-thru, which was named best barbecue chain in Texas by Texas Monthly and a top barbecue chain in the nation by Thrillist. The store will also include H-E-B Curbside and Home Delivery, which will allow customers to place orders online for pickup at the store or delivery to the home. These exciting digital services will give customers choices on how they shop, pay for, and receive their products.

Store highlights include a barbecue outlet plus:

H-E-B says they designed the store to reflect the character unique to the Plano community and emphasized environmental sustainability, incorporating several energy efficient inclusions such as CO2 refrigeration units and LED lighting. The site also features extensive native landscaping.

The company says both are slated to open late next year.

H-E-B has a long history in Texas but the Frisco and Plano stores will be the first in the Metroplex.

H-E-B was founded in San Antonio more than a century ago. It operates stores throughout Texas and a handful in Mexico.
