Retail Watchers

H-E-B opened the Frisco and Plano stores in late 09/22 and 11/22, respectively, if I recall correctly. McKinney came online about a month ago, and I believe Allen is next on deck, and that will open before the holidays. Alliance should be coming online after that. I keep waiting for some movement e...

The Dallas Morning News has yet again released public data about grocery share (the article is member/subscriber exclusive content), here is some 2022 information. The first metroplex proper H-E-B store didn't open in Frisco until almost 4Q22, so H-E-B's numbers really aren't taking the new stores ...

Any idea how they source items like that for so few locations? Normally you'd need a greater count of locations/scale to source those items. Do they have more stores using the format in Mexico maybe? I'm actually told that those items may have been broomed already, but generally for video games I b...

I will not shop at Walmart and Cos. because of what they did to my Mom and other reasons that are not appropriate to discuss in this forum. I have never shopped at H.E.B so I will defer to your evaluations. The large format is what attracted me. :-) I don't think the north Texas H-E-Bs fail to impr...

H‑E‑B isn’t taking Tom Thumb coming to Waxahachie lying down, they have announced an expansion of their existing Waxahachie store to 127,000 SF and that it will transform into their Plus! format. Interesting on two fronts in that we haven’t seen the larger format in North Texas outside of the Burle...

H-E-B broke ground last week on its new Mansfield store at Broad & 287. At 118,000 SF, it looks to be of a similar size as the Plano and Frisco stores. This will fill a 40-mile gap between the Waxahachie and Burleson stores in serving the fringe of the southern DFW Metroplex. H-E-B breaks ground...

Isn't Winco still all debit card only? I pile purchases on my CC for the points/miles and pay the balance off each month, and I suspect I'm not alone. For that alone, shopping at Winco is a nonstarter for me. Meanwhile, HEB gets a minimum of two $250-350 trips a month out of my family.

It looked a little small for a W-D Marketplace but this makes sense. Did Homeland get any other W-D Marketplace units? I'm surprised how much money AWG put into this one- must have been one of Homeland's best stores. Albertsons will probably cause Homeland problems. Supposedly there are some non-co...
