North Texans have been begging for H-E-B to continue its expansion for years, ever since the beloved grocer made its regional debut in Frisco in 2022. Now, the chain is inching towards a new store for another North Texas area, and the name couldn’t be more perfect.
The Dallas-Fort Worth-area suburbs of Hurst, Euless and Bedford (known to locals as HEB) is up next for an H-E-B location. The 126,000-square-foot store — known as H-E-B Mid-Cities to avoid confusion — is coming up at the of Cheek-Sparger Road and Rio Grande Boulevard, according to a 2024 press release from the grocer. Features include a pharmacy with a drive-thru, a True Texas BBQ eatery, Curbside and delivery, as well as a gas station and car wash. It broke ground back in 2024, and now there’s rumblings that an opening date is near.
Documented by one Texan on TikTok, a billboard went up teasing “H-E-B in HEB? OMG!” In response, one commenter said “it’s about time” it opened. So, when can locals expect this aptly-placed grocery store? According to one WFAA reporter on Instagram, folks can expect it in the second half of this year, and that 2024 ground breaking press release does say the store is expected in 2026. Meanwhile, the Fort Worth Report places the opening in late 2026. So while specific details have yet to be announced, it does seem that locals will have to wait at least a few more months for butter tortillas, sushi and other viral finds in their zip code.
MySA reached out to H-E-B for more information, but did not hear back at the time of publication.
