New details are emerging about one of the Lone Star State’s newest H-E-B locations. The San Antonio-based grocery company is set to get the ball rolling on its first-ever Denton store in 2026.
A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) filing provides insight into what customers can expect. The report states that construction at the property, headed for 7520 Robson Ranch Road, will begin in June of this year.
It comes a little over a year after H-E-B announced it would be continuing its expansion into the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Then, the beloved brand said it would be building on a more than 20-acre site in Hillwood’s Landmark area, though it noted its purchase of the property was not yet finalized.
What is coming soon? Online records say the creation of a fuel station kiosk with eight fuel pumps and a 889-square-foot car wash. The project is labeled as “new construction,” meaning nothing is yet on that section of land. Investors are pouring $1.4 million into the development. An estimated completion date is slated for Thursday, November 5, 2026, records show.
“This is a rapidly growing area, and we are excited to introduce this new H-E-B store to Denton and surrounding towns. We look forward to meeting our new neighbors and sharing more details soon,” Managing Director of Public Affairs for H-E-B and Central Market, Mabrie Jackson, said in a past press release regarding the Denton location.
Last spring, H-E-B wrote in the release that construction was expected to begin that same season. However, a groundbreaking ceremony was not publicly announced that year. A company spokesperson confirmed to MySA this week that it has not happened yet, thought he team has “done some community outreach.”
A past MySA report cites that this market is emerging in place of a shop in Argyle, roughly 15 minutes from Denton, which was being considered. Jackson told the Denton Record-Chronicle that this store was happening “instead of” that one. An H-E-B spokesperson told MySA it did not have an update to share on a grand opening timeline.
