“Here Everything’s Better” is the slogan at HEB Grocery Company, but that is not what the acronym means. The name comes from the founding lady’s son’s initials – Howard Edward Butt. She gave control to her son in 1919.
In 1905, Florence Butt, founder of H-E-B, opened C. C. Butt Grocery store. The store was taken over by her son after he came back from World War I. The name of the stores changed to H-E-B in 1927 after some new acquisitions of stores in other locations. The H.E.B chain of businesses is, in most cases, referred to as H.E.B. The headquarters of the company is in San Antonio, Texas. HEB is the largest privately owned company in Texas.

Also under the control of H.E.B is the Central Market. This is a fine foods and organic distributor that carries brands such as “Central Market Organics” and “Central Market Naturals.” The Central Market stores can be found in eight locations. The company also operates HEB Plus, Mi Tienda (‘my store’ in Spanish) and Joe V’s Smart Shop. HEB Plus! Has larger non-food item sections such as entertainment, house wares and general merchandise, Mi Tienda is a Latino-themed store that carries sections where Mexican homemade baked goods are offered and where fresh tortillas are made, the Cocina restaurant is also housed.

Thank you to the management at HEB at store #$446, 2155 Paredes Line Rd., Brownsville, Texas Thank you for the coupon for olive oil they gave us yesterday. We appreciate their caring & concern for our daughter when she had a serious heart condition last year. We appreciate their staff who are always helpful & in good cheer. They always go out of their way to help us find merchandise that we can’t locate. They always make us feel welcome & special. Many blessings to all HEB employees and their families
I recently started buying aguas frescas from HEB and I love them. Only wish they were available where I live in Alamo,TX 78516 I go out of my way to purchase them. Also my son moved to San Antonio and where he shops they don’t carry aguas frescas either.
for the second week in a row, your Burleson TX store was out of the Schar gluten free bread
I always shop at the store at Highland Knolls and S.Mason in Katy. Today there were no regular or decaf tea BAGS. Only sweet tea for the Keurig machine. I don’t have one and don’t want one so I need regular tea bags. Did the manager decide we all have these machines??? I still make my coffee in a little tin drip coffee maker. Best there is. Now I’ll have to go to another store to find just tea.
I also shop there. Well, more accurately, used to.
They used to carry pickling cucumbers, too. Now? Nope, even though they are listed on that specific store’s website.
Same with Marsala and cooking sherry. Used to, then stopped.
Same for Adams Reserve Sweet Red Pepper Flakes. Used to, now don’t.
Half the time, they don’t even have dry-roasted PEANUTS in stock – Oh, lots of the “flavored” stuff, but plain old dry-roasted peanuts, cashews, almonds, or even pecans.
And then retailers somehow just cannot figure out why people are increasingly shopping on-line, and “need” to pay $millions to do all sorts of goofy “studies” that avoid the obvious. They just assume one is going to drive 10+ miles each way to buy whatever weird stuff that some “purchasing specialist” decides is all new and different and nifty-keen, and if you *don’t want* to put something like “brown-sugar blueberry garlic almonds”, or some equally weird thing, into your classic-recipe chocolate-almond torte, well, that’s just too dang bad.
Drive elsewhere to buy tea – or things that used to be standard ingredients? Um, no. The other stores are probably doing the same thing. Why spend money on gasoline in a fruitless search for formerly-standard items, when one can order those items on-line at competitive prices, AND have them delivered to one’s door?
Bring store to Mesa, AZ Loved the store when visited daughter in Houston!!!
don’t ask for income
Was refused a rain chec for coke products on sale for 1.00 yesterday. Made a drive into town to stock up. Shelves were empty. The main kept telling me they would be stocked today which sale is over. Randall’s or other stores very good about rain checks. We are shipt customers and now very upset about treatment about special trip for product.
Regarding your store in Spring Branch (hwy 46, Bulverde) THE HANDICAP ELECTRIC SCOOTERS ARE IN ABYSMAL CONDITION!
You need to replace them, or at least, replace the batteries or battery chargers.
