H-E-B shopping Houston burbs

CYPRESS, LAKE JACKSON, CY-FAIR – Three new H-E-B supermarkets are on tap for the Houston suburbs of Cypress, Lake Jackson and Cy-Fair.

The Cypress store will be at the corner of Tuckerton and Fry Rds. down the street from Bridgeland, Howard Hughes Corp.’s latest master-planned development that will be the Houston area’s largest community of its kind once it is built out over the next 20 years. H-E-B just closed on the land, so it does not have a timeframe for construction or when it will open.

The new Lake Jackson store is slated to open in spring 2015 and will be at the corner of Oyster Creek Dr. and Oak Dr.

The Cy-Fair area store will be located at the corner of Grand and Spring Cypress Rds. It has a tentative opening date of late fall 2014 and an estimated size of 95,000 sf.

Supermarkets will dominate aggressive retail development in Houston over the next year, representing half of 2014 retail growth with 28 new grocery stores planned.
