WHARTON, Texas — Grocery stores all over the Greater Houston area and along the upper Texas coast were packed again Sunday as people stocked up with food and supplies ahead of Beryl.
All H-E-B, Joe V’s, Mi Tienda and Central Market stores across the Greater Houston area will delay opening Monday, July 8, until noon. This includes all H-E-B fuel stations and pharmacies at those stores.
H-E-B announced it plans to close the following stores at 10 p.m. on Sunday.
- Bay City H-E-B
- Edna H-E-B
- El Campo H-E-B
- Lake Jackson H-E-B
- Port Lavaca H-E-B
- Wharton H-E-B
As the storm passes, the Texas-based chain said they will assess each store’s condition before reopening to the public.
Curbside and home delivery may have limited availability in certain areas.
Check back for updates because additional stores may be added to the list of closures as Beryl impacts the Texas coast.
H-E-B also announced short-term limits on the following essentials.
- water multipack – limit 2
- water gallon – limit 2
- bread products – limit 2
- tortilla products – limit 2
- ice – limit 4
H-E-B has confirmed that there is NOT a limit on brisket, despite the claim making the rounds on social media. This post on has nearly 800,000 views. It appears to be a screen shot of an old news report. H-E-B did limit briskets in 2020 at the beginning of the COVID pandemic.
"Our dedicated partners are ready to serve our customers with the products they need. Any out-of-stocks are temporary. Our store are receiving deliveries, and our partners will restock shelves with more products throughout the day," H-E-B said in a statement.
