Construction starts for new Georgetown H-E-B; company donates thousands to local nonprofits

Construction has begun on a new H-E-B store west of Sun City in Georgetown, which aims to open by summer 2025.

Two-minute impact

The 112,000-square-foot building will be at the northeast corner of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and RR 2338, said Heidi Anderson, H-E-B senior director of public affairs for Central Texas, during a Sept. 10 news conference announcing the construction.

Previous Community Impact reporting confirmed H-E-B would anchor the Parmer Ranch Marketplace shopping center at the location, which is being developed by Barshop & Oles Company.

The store will add to Georgetown’s three existing H-E-B stores and will be minutes from the Parmer Ranch community.

“It's going to be uniquely crafted to fit the fabric of this community and this neighborhood,” Anderson said. “It'll provide customers with expanded product selection and a world-class shopping experience that we try to bring to every store that we have.”

Some amenities with the future store will include:

• A pharmacy pickup with a two-lane drive-thru
• H-E-B Curbside
• Home delivery
• A fuel and car wash station
• Texas Backyard, an H-E-B division selling plants, grills and outdoor equipment

“We're ... really excited for another H-E-B in this community and more to come, hopefully,” Mayor Josh Schroeder said at the announcement.

Giving back

After the announcement, H-E-B officials donated a total of $20,000 to four local nonprofit organizations as a part of the store’s philosophy of giving back to communities.

H-E-B donated $5,000 each to The Caring Place, the Georgetown ISD Education Foundation, Brookwood in Georgetown and the Boys & Girls Club of Georgetown.

“It's a part of the Spirit of Giving of H-E-B to give back to those communities that we're serving, not just with providing food for tables, but with all of the nonprofits that are working so hard to make these communities thrive and robust,” Anderson said.
