H-E-B has opened a new e-commerce fulfillment center in Cibolo, a project that expands the retailer’s commitment to integrate technologies that drive omnichannel growth and provide a better shopping experience for Texans.
The 55,000-square-foot facility, which is connected to H-E-B Cibolo at 850 FM 1103, will support curbside and home delivery orders throughout Cibolo, New Braunfels and surrounding cities around the San Antonio area. Building on H-E-B’s presence in the area, the move reinforces the retailer’s commitment to serve more customers in this growing area of the state.
To help support rising demand of online shopping, the e-commerce fulfillment centers stock products found in stores, which are used to satisfy curbside and home delivery orders. These facilities allow for more capacity, greater efficiency, less aisle congestion for the in-store shopper and better product availability.

To help streamline the process and boost productivity, the facilities use various forms of technology to help employees throughout the order process. With these centers, H-E-B has grown supply chain capacity to help improve and power the expansion of its curbside and home delivery services, which are available at more than 270 stores in Texas.
H-E-B celebrated the facility’s grand opening by making a $5,000 community gift to the Schertz Cibolo Universal City ISD Education Foundation, which will support training, certification and equipment costs for engineering and robotics students.
The Cibolo facility marks H-E-B’s eighth e-commerce fulfillment center the company has opened since 2018. H-E-B will continue plans to open additional facilities across the state to help support the retailer’s expansion throughout Texas.
