H-E-B is slowly taking over North Texas and we're excited about that, except for the fact that the company has yet to build a store in Dallas proper.

Yesterday The Dallas Morning News reported the San Antonio-based grocer has purchased more land in Celina in addition to the 30 acres previously purchased in the city north of Dallas along Preston Road. This new property is at Dallas North Tollway and Fred Smith Parkway, near the master-planned community of Legacy Hills.

H-E-B's spokesperson told the Observer the Celina location is in anticipation of future growth and that no timeframe has been established for a store yet.

Below is a list of current and planned H-E-B stores in North Texas, in case you're keeping score. Notice not a single store in Dallas yet. Bummer, huh?
