H-E-B confirms timeline for new Magnolia stores

​​MAGNOLIA – H-E-B confirmed a new store is expected to open at Tamina Road and FM 1488 in Magnolia by late fall 2016. Property builder Williams Development & Construction Inc. also confirmed the construction of the store on a 15-acre site.

Another H-E-B location will be constructed on an 18-acre site along FM 1488 between FM 149 and Spur 149 in Magnolia. A construction timeline has not yet been announced due to ongoing construction of an overpass at FM 1488 and FM 149, according to H-E-B.

The second H-E-B location will be part of a 142-acre mixed-use project known as Magnolia Commons, which will be developed by Austin-based Stratus Properties Inc., Development Partner Jon Andrus said.

Andrus said he anticipates a possible groundbreaking of Magnolia Commons by the end of 2016 with a target opening date of mid- to late 2017.
