Grocery giant H-E-B's McKinney location to open doors on July 19

McKinney - On July 5th, the esteemed supermarket chain H-E-B disclosed the highly awaited news that their latest branch in west McKinney will begin operations at 6 a.m. on July 19.

Situated at the crossing of 8700 Eldorado Parkway and Custer Road, the store spans a massive 118,000 square feet, boasting a myriad of features tailored to augment shopper convenience.

The premises encompass a fully equipped pharmacy with a drive-thru option for streamlined prescription pick-ups. An added benefit is a gas station complete with an adjoining car wash, providing customers with an all-in-one stopover experience. The store's broad range of services is enhanced by the presence of H-E-B’s in-store dining experience, True Texas BBQ, thereby elevating its position as a versatile retail hub.

As per information available on H-E-B’s website, the McKinney branch will host an expansive beer and wine selection, a deli, a bakery, and a tortilleria, among other amenities. Additionally, shoppers can anticipate live cooking demonstrations at the store's specially designated Cooking Connections area. The company's press release notably mentions the inclusion of a curbside service at this location, amplifying its commitment to consumer convenience.

This venture, first announced in the middle of 2021, began construction in March 2022. The run-up to the grand inauguration saw crucial enhancements to the neighboring roads to ensure a fluid and effortless shopping experience for customers.

The McKinney store's inauguration is part of a broader H-E-B expansion strategy in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The initial store launch in Frisco in September and subsequent Plano opening in November marked the start of this expansion. Future plans outline a bold vision of additional stores in Allen, Alliance, Mansfield, and a potential second Frisco location.

The company recently inaugurated its eCommerce fulfillment center in Plano. In a further development, H-E-B also confirmed the introduction of Joe V’s Smart Shop in the North Texas region, a novel store model devised to rival brands like Aldi.

Originating from a modest first store in Kerrville, Texas, in 1905, H-E-B has grown exponentially to dominate the retail landscape. The San Antonio-based company operates more than 420 stores across Texas and Mexico, reinforcing its standing as a significant player in the retail sector, as reported on its website.
