New H-E-B on track to open near Richardson after Dallas City Council approval

The first H-E-B is coming to the city of Dallas, near the Richardson border, after Dallas City Council approved a zoning request for the grocery store in its Dec. 10 meeting.

The details

Located on the southeast corner of Hillcrest Road and LBJ Freeway, the new store would become the closest H-E-B to Richardson.

H-E-B plans to demolish the three office buildings that are currently on the site to make way for the over 100,000-square-foot store, according to city documents. H-E-B also plans to add dedicated turning lanes on Hillcrest Plaza at Hillcrest to direct traffic into the store parking lot.

Quote of note

“We appreciate the thoughtful consideration from city officials, staff, and community members throughout this process,” said Mabrie Jackson, H-E-B managing director of public affairs, in a statement. “We are committed to serving Texans and look forward to bringing our first H-E-B store to the city of Dallas.”

The background

H-E-B began opening DFW stores in 2022, and, in addition to the Hillcrest location, it currently has plans for six new North Texas openings.
