Three times a charm: H-E-B drawn to Killeen

​​​​KILLEEN – H-E-B is looking to break ground later this summer on a third grocery store on the northwest corner of West Stan Schlueter Loop and Fort Hood St., with a grand opening expected in late spring 2017.

Spanning 83,000 sf, the new store will feature a bakery, meat market, deli and seafood; fresh sushi prepared by in-store chefs; oven-ready meals in a “Meal Simple” department; an expansive beer and wine department with wines from around the world; and a True Texas BBQ restaurant with in-house smoked all-natural meats, salads, sandwiches and beer on tap.

Additional services and departments include a curbside program allowing customers to do their shopping online for at-store pickup; a fuel station and car wash; a pharmacy with drive-thru service; a floral shop; H-E-B’s Texas Backyard showcasing plants, pottery, furniture and grills; and restrooms with a comfortable atmosphere.

Once fully operational, the new store will have about 300 employees. 

H-E-B will continue to operate its stores at 809 N. Gray St. and 2511 Trimmier Rd.
