“[Unit Director Mike Hajovsky] is so excited to have this remodel; he’s been advocating for his customers for quite some time, and they’re thrilled to be able to bring new products and add unique features for their loyal customers,” said Leslie Sweet, H-E-B’s director of public affairs for Central Texas.
Sweet said every consideration is given to store re-models, including customer’s individual preferences.
“We’re excited to offer expanded services, as we want to continue to re-invest in every store and give them some love every few years. We’ve learned our customer’s preferences change, and we want to reflect that in our stores,” Sweet said.
The work in progress is as follows:
- An extended service check-out area will allow for 20 new, full check-out lanes
- New men, women and family restrooms with changing stations in each restroom

- An expanded produce department with an additional 840 square-feet will allow for increased selection of organic and locally grown produce and wider aisles
