DALLAS — Texas grocer H-E-B has grown its popularity – and, quite frankly, its cult-like following – throughout the Lone Star State since opening its first store in Kerrville back in 1905.
But for most of the 100-plus years of the store's existence, the allure of H-E-B had seemingly eluded the likes of North Texans. In Central and South Texas, you can find stores within miles of each other.
In the DFW area, you used to have to drive to the outskirts of the southern and western ends of the metroplex.
But it seems like those days are coming to a close. H-E-B started to expand its roots into North Texas with land purchases and new store announcements becoming more common.
Granted, even if H-E-B sites all become stores, they still won't have as many as Kroger, Tom Thumb, Albertsons and Walmart, the longtime top grocery chains in North Texas. Trader Joe's also expanded across North Texas in recent years, along with Austin-founded Whole Foods.
But with H-E-B making a move into the area, we wanted to break down where there are already store locations and where more are coming.
