HEB is coming to Benbrook, I think my wife said its on the south side of Winscott, Across from the new mall (think south lake) and theater they're add about to building the north side of Winscott. Add the new taco villa and my new town is bumping.
At last, our long national nightmare is finally over.Ol Jock 99 said:
They are still a few years away from a big push, but the plans are in the works. They learned some tough lessons in Houston and aren't going to repeat the same mistakes in the Metro. But they are coming.
Yeah, I'd have gone with Skillman/LBJ. 13 acres and basically ready to go. But I assume they wanted to be closer to the tollway.wangus12 said:
Interesting. I work at Preston/635 and drive that intersection 2x every day. That's currently a business park with a bunch of private practice medical offices. So that has to be all relocated, buildings torn down and then rebuilt as an HEB. I'll now the guy who runs HEB ops for NTX so I'll have to hit him up on a timeline.

Probably why they didn't try to put it on the NW corner of Preston/635 where the old mall wall. Don't want the riff raff there

They're going for the jugular with the ultra $$$$ residential areas right there, especially south of 635 along Hillcrest. It will be yoga pants and Land Cruiser HQ and will maybe (finally) start to put the Preston/Forest and Preston/Royal Tom Thumbs out of their misery.

Something is happening at the old grocery store on Ferndale today. Drove by and they had the receiving bays open, dumpster parked by the front doors, and lots of metal and junk being pilled up outside.
Same. It's a quarter mile from my house! I don't think that area is large enough though. Only seems between 5-10 acres?MRB10 said:
Denton CAD tells me they own the land at the north east corner of Parker Rd and Josey Ln just south of The Colony. I've known this for at least five years which means HEB has been blue balling me for at least five years.

What do they own at Skillman/635? Hadn't heard they bought anything around there.Ol Jock 99 said:Yeah, I'd have gone with Skillman/LBJ. 13 acres and basically ready to go. But I assume they wanted to be closer to the tollway.wangus12 said:

Edit...Skillman/635 is 10 acres. Ferndale/NWH, where they already control the old Sunfresh but not the strip center, is 13.
