The 130,000-square-foot supermarket, which has been under construction since fall 2018 at 8801 S. Congress Ave., Austin, originally had an opening scheduled for March 27, which later was switched to mid-April before the most recent announcement. Features at the store will include a Texas Backyard outdoor section and a True Texas BBQ, a restaurant featuring a drive-thru and outdoor seating.
The Congress store is one of many previously scheduled investments by H-E-B in the South Austin area.
“We will showcase an unprecedented investment in new stores across the Greater Austin area, especially in South Austin, where our customers will soon be receiving the best and most advanced shopping experience H-E-B has to offer,” said Jeff Thomas, who served as H-E-B’s senior vice president for Central Texas until his retirement in January, in a statement to Community Impact Newspaper this winter.
