TEXAS - Texas might be a large state, but H-E-B is rapidly expanding throughout it. This week, the grocer announced the acquisition of property in Irving with plans to open its inaugural H-E-B store in the Las Colinas area as it expands through North Texas. Plans are also in place for stores in Melissa, Prosper, and Rockwall.

“H-E-B has been a Texas institution for almost 120 years, and it’s a pleasure to welcome them home to Irving along with 700 new jobs for our workforce. Our community offers an excellent quality of life that includes best-in-class amenities, and the addition of H-E-B reinforces this with its broad array of grocery options at affordable prices,” said Rick Stopfer, Irving Mayor. “Irving’s central location in the metroplex will also give area residents easy access to H-E-B. We are grateful to the H-E-B team for their partnership and for our collaborative efforts with the Greater Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce, the Irving Economic Development Partnership, and all our community stakeholders who made this announcement possible.”

This development marks the first H-E-B location in Dallas County, although the chain already boasts Central Market and Joe V stores in Dallas. Furthermore, H-E-B has over a dozen properties in the region, all awaiting further development, according to NBC Dallas.

The expansion into Irving is part of H-E-B's ambitious plan to introduce its affordable grocery store concept to the area by the end of 2025, with the launch of a new Joe V’s Smart Shop. The 57,920-square-foot Joe V’s Smart Shop project is anticipated to cost over $10 million, as detailed in a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

H-E-B opened a store in Frisco just over two years ago, and since then, the chain has opened additional locations in the region, including in Plano, McKinney, Allen, and Mansfield, with a second Frisco store set to open.
