Construction is continuing on H-E-B’s new store near Converse, where crews are making progress on the exterior of the massive building and new signage is beginning to offer a glimpse at what’s coming to the site.
The 125,000-square-foot store is under construction near the intersection of Interstate 10 and Loop 1604 East. H-E-B announced the project in July and said the store was expected to open in late 2026.

In an email to MySA on September 28, the H-E-B Newsroom said, “We don’t have any updates to share right now,” when asked whether the company could provide a specific target date or an update on the store’s progress.
For now, construction continues at the site, with crews working on the store’s exterior facade and signage going up around the property.
