H-E-B Partners has broken ground on a new H-E-B store at Custer Road and Eldorado Parkway in McKinney, Texas.
The new store is slated to open in late 2023 and will be the company’s third currently under construction in the DFW Metroplex – all three located north of Dallas.
“We are thrilled to be breaking ground on our third store in Collin County in the vibrant community of McKinney,” said Juan-Carlos Rück, H-E-B EVP of North West Food Drug.
“Our company, just like the city of McKinney, has a rich history in Texas. We have a passion and commitment to serve the cities in which we operate. We look forward to adding more than 500 McKinney Partners to our H-E-B family and giving back to organizations that help this area thrive.”
After Mark Turman, executive director of the Denison Forum, blessed the land, H-E-B announced it will be donating $10,000 to each of the following nonprofit organizations to mark the occasion: Seed Project Foundation, Community Garden Kitchen, Love Life Foundation, Hugs Café and City Church.
Local schools also took part in the ceremony. McKinney High School’s MCJROTC presented the colors and the McKinney Boyd High School Jazz Ensemble performed.
“Today is an exciting day for our community as we break ground on this highly-anticipated store in the City of McKinney. H-E-B is famous for its wildly committed fanbase and unwavering commitment to the communities they serve,” said George Fuller, McKinney mayor. “We are proud to be part of the growing H-E-B family in Texas and give our residents more options to keep their dollars local.”
The exterior design of the new McKinney store has a modern, distinctive character, designed to integrate into the McKinney community. The property also has a tree preserve located between the store and residential neighbors to provide a natural buffer and privacy.
Distinct features will include a large dedicated curbside zone at the back of the store, a fuel station with car wash, pPharmacy drive-thru and a True Texas BBQ, H-E-B’s barbecue restaurant.
H-E-B, with sales of $34 billion, operates over 420 stores in Texas and Mexico. Based in San Antonio, H-E-B employs over 145,000 Partners in Texas and Mexico and serves millions of customers in more than 300 communities.
