Willis, you're getting your first H-E-B!
The Texas-based grocery chain is gearing up for its grand opening on Wednesday (November 2) at 6 a.m., according to the Houston Chronicle. The 100,000-square-foot grocery store will be located at 12350 I-45 North in the Willis Shopping Center. More than 400 jobs will become available as a result of the new H-E-B location.
The Willis H-E-B location is just one of several new locations the grocery chain has planned to open in Texas. Bridgeland in Harris County is also getting its first H-E-B in 2024, located at the intersection of Bridgeland Creek Parkway and Summit Point Crossing, just 30 miles from downtown Houston. A north Fort Worth location is also planned for 2024.
