So jealous that they are getting a new HEB store. Maybe they will start moving on some of the other locations soon too!

HEB owns a plot of land at Cheek-Sparger and 121, across from Wal-Mart. I had not heard they were actually moving forward with plans to build though.
Great news if true!

They have a private label that is actually decent, their fruit is way fresher than most other comparably priced stores, they have a much larger ethnic selection. I could probably go on. Im sad I no longer live in north arlington as I'd probably make the drive there to do grocery shopping.

quote:Just curious how you know that? I go to a massive Kroger that sells everything from fine jewelry, 4 aisles of organic food, and 24 hour fresh sushi, and a manager that directs customers in the checkouts. You could be right on price but I don't take the time to price check.quote:

Because people like better stuff for cheaper prices.
quote:Kroger is pretty good on price, but in my experience they are poorly run. Your store could be the exception. Maybe I've only been to bad ones. However, I haven't been to a poorly run HEB yet.quote:Just curious how you know that?

quote:This is true. Probably own 20+ sites in DFW. Have owned land for over 10 years. They do own that land in HEB but I doubt they will be building there. Kroger is going to build a huge "marketplace" store in the Glad Parks development so they may pass on that site...at least for a few years to see how Kroger does. I'm in CRE and have heard that they have committed to opening two stores in DFW in 2017.
HEB owns land all over the Metroplex
quote:Damn, I just bought a 6 pack of avocados for $4 at Sams.
They are. The HEB in my crappy hometown was always a sh*thole. The HEB in Round Rock is freaking awesome. It is kinda like heaven, to me. ,
They just have great quality stuff at a very reasonable price. The closest store to me in brookshires & while they are great on customer service, the selection is very limited & it can be pricey. I hate buying avocados for $2.50 each. Pisses me off. I have started shopping at my nearest Wal-Mart because the prices are better. HEB will be a great addition.

A word from my AT&T friend, they were hosting the mayor, other major city officials, and heads of many DFW corporations in AT&T's downtown client center. Apparently HEB has acquired land via third parties and is ready to break ground on a distribution center in order to accommodate their new stores in North Texas.
quote:They just opened a DC in Temple a few years ago that was supposed to support any future DFW growth, doubt they need another one any time soon. This is also why the southern burbs like Mansfield are getting the new stores versus cities like Bedford.

quote:Pretty sure if they're going to enter the Frisco's, north FW, Denton, McKinney, they'll want another one further north than Temple. Isn't that Temple one over 10 years old now?quote:They just opened a DC in Temple a few years ago that was supposed to support any future DFW growth, doubt they need another one any time soon.
