FEATURED IMPACT COMING SOON A new H-E-B under construction next to the existing store at 651 S. Walnut Ave., New Braunfels will soon open to customers and take the place of the existing grocery store. Originally opened in 1994, the roughly 76,000-square-foot grocery store was later joined by two additional stores located on FM 306 and Hwy. 46 that were built to accommodate the growing population, said Katy Segler, a store leader for the New Braunfels H-E-B. In January 2021, a gas station and a shopping center attached to the main grocery store were demolished to make way for the construction of a new, 116,000-square-foot building. “It was time for this part of the New Braunfels community to have a store that could keep up with the growth,” said Julie Bedingeld, a public aairs manager with H-E-B. The new facility is slated to open April 29 and will replace the existing store, which will be torn down to make room for additional parking. In addition to the larger square footage, the store will incorporate a two-story True Texas BBQ location that will include in-store seating and a drive-thru. Additionally, customers will have access
to a more extensive cheese selection, bakery, beer and wine section, and house-made tortillas. The original building will be demolished to complete the parking lot, including 26 curbside parking spaces. “That’s a growing part of our business, [that] aspect of people just wanting to save time and order all of this stu online,” Segler said. The store will also be the rst in New Braunfels to have a licensed nutritionist operating inside the store, Segler said. Customers and sta will have access to the nutritionist’s services, including meal-planning assistance. Ahead of the opening, H-E-B is in the process of hiring 150 new employees to join the current sta who will make the transition from the old store, Segler said. “It’s going to be a bittersweet nostalgia,” she said of leaving the old building. “But this is something that our customers and our partners are extremely excited for.”
