Montgomery City Council sets public hearing for potential restaurant drive-thru at future H-E-B

During its Aug. 26 meeting, Montgomery City Council approved calling for a public hearing set for Sept. 9 on a request from H-E-B for a special use permit tied to the grocery chain’s planned store in the city.

The permit seeks approval for a drive-thru lane for a restaurant that will be part of the development. City Engineer Chris Roznovsky said the lane would be located on the east side of the building.

How we got here

The H-E-B will sit on a 32.42-acre tract of land at the southeast corner of Hwy. 105 and FM 2854, with 16.75 acres used for the grocery chain and an anticipated opening in late 2026, as reported.

The store is also slated to include a gas station and car wash. According to a May 2024 feasibility study, the development is expected to generate $45,600 in annual tax revenue and will cost $140,000 in public infrastructure.

Plans call for a detention pond with an added “Texan feel,” Montgomery Mayor Sara Countryman told Community Impact in April.
