I certainly don't. I would pass Brookshires, Walmart and Aldi to get to the HEB. That would make zero sense. It's just a grocery store.

My comment referencing Granbury's location was in regards to the OP. I'd assume if McKinney, Prosper or Denton had a HEB (maybe they do) then the question would have never been asked. I don't consider those places anymore metroplex than Granbury.

Very confused. You would drive 30 minutes to go to a grocery store? Seriously?

My time is clearly more valuable than yours.

We live in South Fort Worth, and I can drive to HEB in Burleson, do curbside pick up, and be back home in 45 minutes.

Or I could drive 5 minutes to Tom Thumb, spend 30 minutes shopping for my own stuff, pick through their crappy produce and meat selection, not buy store brand anything because Safeway brand stuff in general sucks, deal with their rude employees, spend 30% more than I would at HEB, and drive 5 minutes home.

Yeah, I happily make my way to Burleson once a week. But I'd give a kidney to have the closest Tom Thumb replaced by an HEB.

No, I would not. I don't even drive the extra 5 minutes to go to the HEB.

Live in Burleson so HEB is my go-to. I pass up a Kroger and Walmart Neighborhood Market to get there. It's funny because Kroger Marketplace opened up a store across the street from HEB a couple of years ago. Since then, I've never seen them be able to get even a third of the parking lot full, while HEB is constantly packed. There's a reason people in Texas love HEB so much.

The HEB in a Waxahachie is decent but the crowd is unbearable at all times of the day. No thanks.

The Waxahachie location is on tap to be expanded soon. An expansion proposal was making its way through the city back in the fall, so hopefully they will start construction soon. I definitely agree; it is far too packed and is often out of stock on certain items due to the Dallas crowds flocking down there on weekends.

Grew up in Dallas so my exposure to HEB is limited to Central Market, the old and new heb on holleman, and the heb in bryan

heb doesnt seem any different than the grocery stores here. The Tom Thumb/Kroger/Albertsons in the poor neighborhoods are terrible while the expensive areas are nice.

If I need the most generic of items I go to the albertsons on garland and buckner, but half of that neighborhood sucks and the parking lot is trashy so I dont mind driving over to CM. That Tom Thumb on gaston is a joke, they have nothing.

WRONG.

Ha ha completely agree. As a matter of fact, I had to read his post twice to really make sure I read it correctly.

I go to the HEB and Kroger in Granbury. The Kroger usually has far better deals on beef so I get that there and most other stuff at HEB. Kroger had choice briskets the other day for $1.68 a pound while HEB had select briskets for $2.49.

HEB Grocery Company LP leased 37,411 square feet in Bluffview Towers at 3890 W. Northwest Hwy. in Dallas. Randy Cooper and Wills Bauer of Cushman & Wakefield represented the tenant. James Esquivel of JLL represented the landlord, BSP Bluffview LP

37k square feet of office is quite a bit (would house at least 100-120 people assuming normal office set-up), just north of Love Field. I'm sure that's strategic for SWA to/from SAN, and with quick access to 35, DNT, and 183.

Could be tied to supporting CM ops.

This is accurate, H-E-B has had the headquarters for CM here for several years now. This lease is likely either a renewal or an expansion of space.

Looks like you guys are right. They've had space there for quite some time according to DCAD.

Thread fail, ban user.

Although there is a void in my part of East Dallas right now.

NW Hwy and Plano Rd. there is a Kroger that is super crowded horrible parking and (because it is near a couple of retirement communities) navigating the aisles is often an obstacle course of scooters, walkers, and other just really really slow people.

The other nearby grocery (Sun Fresh) at NW Hwy and Ferndale closed 2 years ago - sold to HEB actually as part of 6 places they bought (2 being developed into Central Markets)....but they have no plans for that location and have not sold it either.

There are no other groceries in about a 4 mile radius from there. Closest are:

Buckner/Garland Rd. - Albertsons
NW Hwy across LBJ a ways there is both a Walmart (at Saturn) and a Tom Thumb (at Centerville)
NW Hwy the other way there is a Walmart past Skillman
Skillman and Abrams there is a Super Target
way over across the lake at Mockingbird and Abrams is a Tom Thumb
way up at Forest and Royal is another Tom Thumb

It's a real dead zone. And I hate both Walmart and Target anyway.

You're really splitting hairs there, dude.

The six places you listed + Kroger + Aldi (not listed) is more than enough for that area close to White Rock Lake.

Central Market and Whole Foods aren't inconveniently located, either, if that's your jam.

I actually agree with Zombie on this one. I driver past the Kroger in question on the way home in the evenings, and even though I prefer Kroger over most of the local competition, I will drive out of my way to go to a different location (or a competitor) just because the parking lot is such a pain to navigate, and the store is far too small for the traffic it pulls. If H-E-B was to open in the former Minyard Sun Fresh space, it would be amazing, but would also likely face the same traffic issues. Maybe HEB could buy out the soon to be dead Fry's just down Northwest Highway and bring a decent sized grocer to the area? Side note, the Tom Thumb up at Skillman/Royal is also terrible (store is undersized and the clientele often seems sketchy), and there aren't any other grocers convenient to that part of Lake Highlands due to traffic patterns.

I don't do curbside pickup for perishables and other things. I always get the nearest expiration dates and often the worst looking pieces. It is worth my time to browse the items and take what I'm looking for. But, I'm probably pickier than most.

Whatever happened to the HEB that was to come into Euless at the Glade Parks development?

Tom Thumb is so bad it makes regular HEB look good. Kroger isn't so bad. I wonder if they try to compete head to head where there are Krogers.

HEB bought over 20+ parcels of land all over DFW several years ago. When they decide to
Build on these parcels is anyone's guess.

Tom Thumb used to be top notch. They went down hill fast when SafeWay/Albertsons bought them out.

At least y'all have big gas stations. My wife does most our grocery shopping but occasionally she'll have me pick something up. When I lived in Dallas I could just go to a QT or racetrack and they'd have what I needed. Here in Colorado the gas stations are tiny and have nothing but cigarettes and energy drinks. Oh and Whataburger...

Kroger is pretty damn good for a generic grocery store, especially in comparison to Tom Thumb. Tom Thumb is not good, although the one by my house has tried a little recently. They finally put the self checkout lines back in.

HEB had bought some land at the corner of Exchange and Greenville in Allen. Right across the street from Kroger. Then they sold it.

Those super HEB down south of Austin are pretty great. They could be other places too just not aware.

We moved from the Houston area to the DFW area about a year and half ago. The grocery store situation here is an abomination...and we even live near a CM. We hit CM for some things we like, but the Tom Thumb/Kroger situation here is so incredibly sub-optimal compared to the HEB's sprouting up all over the Houston area. My wife and I talk all the time that if they just built one near us they would CRUSH it. (we're in the Southlake/Keller/Trophy Club area...)

I don't live near a Central market. Krogers is the best up here but just today was talking with another teacher who like me moved from Central Texas. We mourn for our HEB. There are so many Texas items no one else has, their store branded things rock. I miss their coffee and so, so many other things. I will on rare occation drive to Waxahache, but that one is so busy you can't get up and down the aisles. I don't want to do crubside because I need to browse the richness that is an HEB. Since I have reached adulthood in the 70's this is the first time I have had to live where there is no HEB. I almost want to drive to Belton JUST to spend a couple of hours shopping. I honestly don't care about the price. I only do Krogers now because I don't like any other store in Arlington/Mansfield for the gas points. I don't mind pick up or home delivery from there because I get NO pleasure from the store. I LOVE being in an actual HEB store.

Hopefully sometime this century.

Tom Thumb has a fantastic wine selection and prices for a grocery store.

Drive down Rendon Rd to Burleson
