Texas’ biggest grocery chain has just announced <\/a>new affordable grocery stores set for Space City. San Antonio-based\u00a0H-E-B <\/a>is planning to open two Joe V’s Smart Shops<\/a> in the Houston area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first store will be located near Houston’s City Park community at 1227\u00a0W. Orem Drive near Highway 288 and the second will be in Humble at 19611 US-59 near Interstate 69. These two new Joe\u00a0V’s come as the grocer continues its plans to expand its successful low-price value grocery store concept across the Lone Star State.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two locations will also be the first Joe V\u2019s Smart Shops to offer H-E-B South Flo Pizza, which serves\u00a0fresh, handcrafted pizzas served in-house daily and as a grab-and-go meal option. Both Houston stores will also offer Home Delivery to serve even more customers throughout the community and surrounding neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

H-E-B said work is already underway on both 57,000-square-foot stores,\u00a0which are expected to open next year. Joe V’s Humble is slated for early 2027 and the Orem Drive store is set for a late 2027 debut. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Each new Houston-area store will employ more than 200 Joe\u00a0V\u2019s workers or partners.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Founded by H-E-B in 2010 in Houston, Joe\u00a0V’s Smart Shops is a low-price grocery store brand designed to compete with discount chains, according to the company. While the concept has a smaller footprint than a traditional\u00a0H-E-B, Joe V’s offers everyday essentials, fresh produce and in-store cut meats, breads and more.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The chain operates 14 locations, primarily in Houston (11), and three in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex<\/a>. Joe\u00a0V\u2019s Smart Shop currently employs more than 2,700 people across more than a dozen stores in the Houston and Dallas areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texas’ biggest grocery chain has just announced new affordable grocery stores set for Space City.
