We [HEB] are expanding to all of west Texas and soon to DFW. Created a whole new division to support all of the new stores.

Full DFW expansion is still a few years out.

I don't know exact locations but I know the realty team is buying up property left and right.

Y'all sure screwed the pooch on the store in Fredericksburg. Terrible produce quality, poor selection (you're out of Jazz apples today, and the bananas will be ripe in 3 weeks or so, but it's always something), constantly relocating dry goods, and removal of the wine signs that denote the different varietals.

You had a perfectly good store and just decided to piss off your customers for what reason?

There isn't a single person I know out here that thinks what you have done is making it a better experience for your customers.

I was told...a couple of years ago...by an HEB employee (who was pretty high up within their corporate hierarchy)...that HEB had acquired 20 properties in the DFW area. Given they were private...and paid cash for the sites...they were willing to sit and wait until the time was right.

That's probably true, but it doesn't make a lot of business sense. The land is going to appreciate in value, but they're not in to hold and flip. They have a hungry fan base even in DFW, so I don't know why they wouldn't instantly build -- they could be recouping money and taking over market share.

HEB owns the old Randall's/Albertson's building in College Station just to keep competitors out of the building.

FINALLY!!!!!

It must be more of supply chain issue, as they do a lot of HEB branded stuff.

We actually buy and sell a ton of real estate.

Of course, we buy up a lot of stuff as it becomes available, with plans to put stores or other things there in future, but we aren't going to start building stores until we have a distribution network that can support that territory.

Depending on what you consider DFW they are already in the metro area. Ours in eastern Parker County opened in May.

How far west we talking ?

I figured it was more of a logistics/supply issue. With that said, what is the "other things" you speak about? I know y'all were dabbling with in-store electronics for a while, so what else are you all planning?

My reaction as well!!! We have heard HEB was coming but after a while, you stop believing. I'm glad its finally happening.

Heb doesn't own it, but they do lease it.

United must be pissed. I've always heard they and Heb had an understanding about staying in their own georgraphical zones.

It's a fact that they own property in west Frisco but said they have no plans to build a store.

I have no idea why. Everyone else is building here.

I do land development work in the north end of DFW, and I've recently started seeing prospective-buyer flyers and pro-formas for out parcels that have HEB as the anchor chain. I've seen at least 7 of these in the last 6 months, for real estate in Carrollton, Plano, Colleyville, Irving, Denton, and Sanger.

How close are these to getting real movement?

I was in Lubutt today, makes you think.

That is a true statement. However, The family that owned United sold out to Albertsons in 2013. From what I understand, that gentleman's agreement ended with that sale.

Seriously... Lubbock!

Please come out to east Texas and buy out brookshires.

F Lubbock

Have them break ground on the Ware Rd/107 property first.

I did not know that. Well I suppose it's game on then....

HEB has owned prime real estate in Bandera for a while now. When are they going to build there?
