Statewide grocery store chain H-E-B will locate its Austin-based digital employees in a renovated industrial warehouse in East Austin.

In a media release on Wednesday, H-E-B announced it signed a long-term lease at 2416 E. Sixth St., Austin, for an 81,000-square-foot facility that will serve as the workspace for H-E-B's Austin digital team as well as Favor's corporate headquarters.

In February, the San Antonio-based grocery chain announced the purchase of Favor, an on-demand delivery service.

The East Austin office will open in spring 2019, and H-E-B and Favor plan to add several hundred jobs at the facility, according to the release.
