Specialty Food Association

H-E-B Partners recently broke ground on a new store in McKinney, Texas, slated to open in late 2023.

This is the company’s third store under construction in the DFW Metroplex, all three are located north of Dallas.

“We are thrilled to be breaking ground on our third store in Collin County in the vibrant community of McKinney,” said H-E-B’s EVP of North West Food Drug Juan-Carlos Rück, in a statement. “Our company, just like the city of McKinney, has a rich history in Texas. We have a passion and commitment to serve the cities in which we operate. We look forward to adding more than 500 McKinney partners to our H-E-B family and giving back to organizations that help this area thrive.”

The exterior of the new McKinney store will have a modern, distinctive character, designed to integrate into the McKinney community. The property also has a tree preserve located between the store and residential neighbors to provide a natural buffer and privacy.

Distinct features will include a large dedicated curbside zone at the back of the store, a fuel station with car wash, pharmacy drive-thru, and a True Texas BBQ, H-E-B’s barbecue restaurant that was named best barbecue chain in Texas by Texas Monthly and top barbecue chain in the nation by Thrillist.

After Dr. Mark Turman, executive director of the Denison Forum, blessed the land, H-E-B announced it will be donating $10,000 to each of the following nonprofit organizations to mark the occasion: Seed Project Foundation, Community Garden Kitchen, Love Life Foundation, Hugs Café, and City Church.

“H-E-B is famous for its wildly committed fanbase and unwavering commitment to the communities they serve,” said McKinney Mayor George Fuller. “We are proud to be part of the growing H-E-B family in Texas and give our residents more options to keep their dollars local.”
