H-E-B Breaks Ground On Dallas-Area Store

H-E-B’s expansion across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is continuing as the regional grocer has started construction on a new store in the community of Melissa. Located north of Dallas in Collin County, the 131,000 square store is expected to open sometime in 2025.

To be located on the northeast corner of U.S. 75 and Highway 121, the store will include a full-service H-E-B Pharmacy with a drive-thru, a True Texas BBQ restaurant with a drive-thru and H-E-B Curbside and Home Delivery. The store will also incorporate several energy efficient additions such as CO2 refrigeration units and LED lighting. 

According to the company, the move into Melissa reinforces the retailer’s commitment to serve more customers and communities in this growing part of Texas. H-E-B will offer positions that range from department managers to cashiers. All job opportunities will be posted to the H-E-B Careers site in the coming months. It’s expected that the store will have 600 employees.

H-E-B Melissa joins additional H-E-B stores in Prosper and Rockwall, which are slated to open next year. Recently, the multi-format retailer announced plans to open two Joe V’s Smart Shop by H-E-B stores in Dallas. Joe V’s Smart Shop by H-E-B is part of H-E-B’s family of brands offering an innovative price format that delivers the most relevant, high-quality, fresh products H-E-B is known for at even lower prices. These will become the first Joe V’s Smart Shop by H-E-B locations to open outside the Houston area

In the DFW area, H-E-B has opened H-E-B stores in Frisco, Plano, McKinney, and Allen. H-E-B stores in Alliance and Mansfield are currently under construction and are expected to open later this year.
