New HEB with BBQ restaurant to open fall 2024 in eastern Pugerville

The HEB Grocery Co. announced construction has begun on a new store in Pugerville. What’s happening? The announce- ment came July 12 during an invite-only groundbreaking event at 2641 E. Pugerville Parkway, where the 127,000-square-foot store will be located, across from the Baylor Scott & White hospital. Zooming in: The company did not specify cost, but in March, HEB led a pair of construction permits with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation indicating a total investment of $48 million. HEB Public Aairs manager Johnny Mojica said the company plans to hire more than 500 employ- ees at the new store, which will become the third and largest with a Pugerville address.

The breakdown: The release states the new HEB will come with several features and amenities, including a True Texas BBQ restaurant. Also of note: During the ground- breaking, HEB ocials made dona- tions to several local organizations. Those include: • Pugerville Education Foundation: $5,000 • Circle of Hope Community Center: $5,000 • For the Children: $5,000 • American Legion Kerlin-Lyerly Post No. 154: $5,000 Quote of note: “This store ... is a plus because a lot of our development obviously is moving and going east, and we have a lot of challenges in meeting the expectations of citizens on this side,” Pugerville Mayor Victor Gonzales said.
