We've all heard rumors for years about us getting our own HEB here in East Montgomery County…And now that attractive piece of gossip has officially become truth.
According to Cyndy Garza Roberts with the Houston division of Public Affairs for H-E-B, land for a new store has been purchased here in East Montgomery County by the Texas-based grocery giant.
With a close location just 10 minutes down the road towards 45 and another in Kingwood, most people (including myself) thought it would never happen for us. I guess HEB decided we are growing enough to have our own.

Now I know y'all are going to ask where our new store is going to be built. And trust me…I'm just as curious as you are. But to my disappointment, HEB wouldn't confirm the exact address of the new location. However, there are a lot of indicators that it's coming to the southwest corner of 99 (Grand Parkway) and FM 1314. Local businesses near there have told myself and other residents that's where HEB is going to be. Land is also feverishly being cleared right now in that area, so there seems to be some validity to what they're saying. Hopefully HEB will confirm their location very soon so we know where to be watching.
HEB released no timetable for when we can expect the new store to open as they are right now just in the very early stages of the project. And on that same note, all we know for sure is that HEB has purchased land here in East Montgomery County. HEB also owns Mi Tienda and Joe V's. Not to say it'll be one of those instead, but it's not completely out of the realm of possibility. We will keep y'all updated whenever HEB releases more information.
Are you looking forward to having an HEB right here in EMC? I know I am!
