Construction on the new H-E-B along Texas 121 in Euless appears to be nearing completion.
H-E-B broke ground on the 126,000-square-foot store in November 2024 at the corner of Cheek-Sparger Road and Rio Grande Boulevard, down the street from Glade Park’s shopping center.
The store is near the neighboring cities of Euless, Bedford and Colleyville, where residents are eagerly awaiting the grand opening of what will be the third H-E-B in Tarrant County.
This past February, the grocer held a job fair for 600 positions to work at the new Mid-Cities store. Construction on the building and parking lot have been coming along quickly over the last few weeks, and the store’s signage has been installed on the front of the building.
The pharmacy side of the store is also moving along with the sign-up on that side as well. Fousia Abdullahi fousia.abdullahi@star-telegram.com
While some are concerned about traffic in the area, construction of a new signal on Cheek-Sparger, between Heritage Avenue and Rio Grande Boulevard, is still underway. The city of Bedford said it’s working with Euless and TxDOT on a traffic signal between Heritage and Texas 121.
H-E-B has said it planned to open in “summer 2026.” The retailer isn’t confirming an opening date yet, according to a newsletter from the city of Bedford, but the opening could be as early as late spring.
Work on the gas station and car wash also looks to be almost complete. Fousia Abdullahi fousia.abdullahi@star-telegram.com
With its expansion into the Metroplex, H-E-B has opened stores in Allen, Frisco, Fort Worth’s Alliance, Mansfield, Prosper and Melissa. Dallas is getting its first H-E-B, too.
In July, H-E-B announced it is building a second Fort Worth location, after Alliance, in the Walsh development off Interstate 20 just west of the Parker County line.
H-E-B said this week it has nothing new to announce about Fort Worth stores, but there is movement on land the retailer owns in far north Fort Worth, suggesting it may have plans for a location there sooner rather than later.
This month, H-E-B is holding job fairs for upcoming stores in Irving and Murphy.
The Irving H-E-B job fair will be April 15 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the H-E-B Irving staffing office, 8101 Ridgepoint Drive, Suite 200.
The H-E-B in Murphy, just east of Plano, will hold its job fair the following day on April 16 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the hiring office in Richardson, 3301 Matrix Drive, Suite 100.
All applications must be completed prior to the job fairs. All available positions and applications are on careers.heb.com.
