SAN ANTONIO \u2014 A new H-E-B store has officially opened its doors today on the Far East Side near Converse, marking another big milestone for one of the area’s fastest-growing communities.<\/p>\n
The store sits at the intersection of Interstate 10 and Loop 1604 East. <\/p>\n
We’ve been following development in East Bexar County as more families move in and see increased retail and grocery options. H-E-B expects the new 125,000-square-foot location to create more than 400 jobs, boosting employment and services in the area. <\/p>\n
General Manager Will Tate, who grew up in the community and has worked for H-E-B for more than 30 years, said, “I have some deep roots in this community. I grew up here,” Tate said. “I’m looking forward to working with our Partners to create a store environment that both serves and celebrates the people in this community.”<\/p>\n
Shoppers will find several specialty departments, including a bakery with fresh tortillas, a Sushiya section, a meat market featuring Prime and Wagyu beef and a seafood department. The store also features a True Texas BBQ restaurant with indoor seating, a pharmacy with drive-thru service, more than 30 dedicated curbside parking spaces and home delivery. <\/p>\n
Additional amenities include Meal Simple prepared meals, a Cooking Connection with live demonstrations, an extensive beer and wine selection, a floral department and a Texas Backyard section with plants and gardening supplies.<\/p>\n
The opening comes as the region continues to experience rapid growth. The area near Converse has seen about 17% more residents since 2020 and is expected to grow by another 10% in the next four years. The new H-E-B aims to meet the needs of East Side neighborhoods and commuters from Seguin, La Vernia and surrounding communities.<\/p>\n
Development around the store will add more retail buildings and business spaces by the end of March, bringing new services and shopping opportunities to local families. To celebrate the opening, H-E-B has donated $25,000 to Boysville San Antonio, an organization that helps children and young adults who have faced abuse, neglect or family challenges.<\/p>\n
H-E-B’s investment affirms the continued growth and promise of East Bexar County, expanding options for groceries, dining and hiring to support the community’s next chapter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO \u2014 A new H-E-B store has officially opened its doors today on the Far East Side…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":479310,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-479309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","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\/479309","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=479309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479309\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
