League City checks out 99,000-SF H-E-B store

LEAGUE CITY – A new 99,000-sf H-E-B store is going up at 2755 E. League City Pkwy. The store is expected to provide 350 jobs.

"If you look at the greater Houston area, there are 1,500 new people moving here every day, and League City is enjoying some of that same growth, especially in the (Texas) 96 corridor feeding I-45 and SH 146," said Scott McClelland, president of H-E-B Houston.

When it opens on Nov. 5, this H-E-B will boast a larger produce department and bakery, and offer fresh juicing in-store "with ten different kinds of juice and juice blends," McClelland said.

This store is just one of three new stores that H-E-B is opening in October and November. The others are located in Cypress and The Woodlands.

Next summer, H-E-B will open a new store in Texas City to replace a small pantry store, open a second, larger store in Clear Lake and replace a small pantry store in Deer Park with a new one.
