H-E-B is growing its footprint with yet another massive store set for the Central Texas region, but bringing the project to life is still in the works.\u00a0Unlike San Marcos<\/a>, Buda shoppers will have to wait another two years to see a new H-E-B start to take shape off of Interstate 35.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The San Antonio-based grocery chain confirmed to MySA through email that it’s planning to begin construction on its upcoming Buda store near South Austin in 2028. Earlier this year, Buda officials announced<\/a> that a long-vacant former landfill would be transformed into a new retail destination anchored by an H-E-B.<\/p>\n

In the city’s March news release<\/a>, officials noted that construction on the store, located along the southbound IH-35 access road north of Main Street in Buda, was expected to begin in 2026. However, because the store will be in a complex site that was formerly a landfill, environmental work is currently being done to clear the land before construction on the new H-E-B can officially begin, according to the company.<\/p>\n

This was part of an agreement the City of Buda made with H-E-B where the company is investing in making environmental and roadway improvements to the area to ensure the site is safe and accessible. Based on a Traffic Impact Analysis detailed in the agreement, H-E-B will enhance traffic flow along the IH-35\/Main Street corridor, including improvements to the Old San Antonio Road connector.<\/p>\n

The incentive package will help cover about $30 million in costs to clean up and prepare the land for development. In 2025, Buda City Council voted unanimously to approve a zoning change for H-E-B to redevelop the land.<\/p>\n

So, although dirt may be turning at the site now, the Buda store won’t be ready quite so soon. H-E-B added that a store opening date will be communicated at a later time. Once open, this will be Buda’s second H-E-B store.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"H-E-B is growing its footprint with yet another massive store set for the Central Texas region, but bringing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":382202,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[821,820,82,84,83],"class_list":["post-382201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-mysabusiness","tag-mysastaff","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/382202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
