H-E-B followed up the urban forestry permit application with an application for a drainage study<\/a> two weeks later, according to city records.<\/p>\n The drainage study application is \u201cin support of limited mass grading efforts for interim conditions,\u201d according to the city\u2019s permitting website.<\/p>\n The new site grading effort is to redistribute a stockpile of dirt left over from a previous development nearby in a way that doesn\u2019t mess with the existing site drainage patterns, according to the permitting website.<\/p>\n The application does not mention any plans for a new store, and a company spokesperson said in an email to the Star-Telegram that H-E-B had nothing to share at this time.<\/p>\n Still that doesn\u2019t mean there couldn\u2019t be a store at that location sometime in the future. Development has boomed around the intersection of Chisholm Trail Parkway and McPherson Boulevard.<\/p>\n The site sits at the half-way point between downtown Fort Worth and Cleburne, and is expected to add 90,000 residents by 2045<\/a>, according to a 2023 estimate from the North Central Texas Council of Governments.<\/p>\n H-E-B has rapidly expanded in North Texas since the opening of Frisco store in 2022.<\/p>\n It has locations in Allen, Burleson, Fort Worth\u2019s Alliance, Mansfield, Prosper, Melissa, and Murphy with future stores planned for Dallas and Fort Worth\u2019s Walsh neighborhood.<\/p>\n The company also rezoned land in April<\/a> in far north Fort Worth \u2014 near the intersection of East Bonds Ranch Road and U.S. 287 \u2014 for \u201cthe intent of retail use,\u201d according to a city permit application.<\/p>\n However, a company spokesperson said in an email to Star-Telegram ahead of the rezoning that the move was an effort to have the same land use rules apply to two parcels of land the company owns along East Bonds Ranch Road.<\/p>\n This story was originally published August 3, 2026 at 12:04 PM.<\/p>\n
