Renovations to 25-year-old store to be complete by summer
The Cedar Park H-E-B at US 183 and Whitestone Boulevard is undergoing an expansion project that will add new foods and square footage to the 25-year-old store.
"Last October we completed a major remodel at our other Cedar Park store down the road, and so this one is getting some of that love and expansion as well," H-E-B spokeswoman Leticia Mendoza said. "This is going to be a $10 million project for us. [The store is] gaining an additional 5,200 square feet."
In September, construction began to add space to the store's front, where Manager Rick Nevels said the existing parking spaces will be eliminated. Steel and glass will replace the red brick facade. Two previously leased commercial spaces will become part of the store's pharmacy and drive-thru.
"So it will be Papa Murphy's, a small leased space [remaining next to H-E-B], and then we are demolishing what used to be a dentist office and a hair care place," Nevels said. "We are putting in a state-of-the-art pharmacy where we will be able to have a consultation area."
