Sooner Than Later, H-E-B To Hit DFW

Right now, the closest H-E-B gets to Dallas is Waxahachie -- if, of course, you don't count H-E-B-owned Central Market. But a few days ago, a Friend of Unfair Park sent word that H-E-B had quietly opened an office in his Northwest Dallas building -- maybe, he speculated, the San...

Right now, the closest H-E-B gets to Dallas is Waxahachie -- if, of course, you don't count H-E-B-owned Central Market. But a few days ago, a Friend of Unfair Park sent word that H-E-B had quietly opened an office in his Northwest Dallas building -- maybe, he speculated, the San Antonio-based chain was eying an expansion into the DFW. Which, turns out, it is.

The San Antonio Business Journal reports this morning that it is indeed "surveying the area, looking for potential sites" around these parts, according to H-E-B public affairs director Dya Campos. Too soon to say what, where or when (except "in the near future"), but I've sent Campos an e-mail with a few more questions. I will update when she replies.
