(46,409 posts)I was thrilled we finally got some HEB stores here in North Texas and last time we drove past the one closest to us, the parking lot was packed.

(46,409 posts)The first grocery shop was at a supermarket right by my new apartment and I wasn't terribly impressed. I started doing some research for the next grocery shop and was like, "What do you mean there aren't any HEBs in Denton, Denton County or even Dallas County? WHY did we move here????"
It's been a long haul.

(9,835 posts)They do a pretty good job and theyve got a lot of stores spread across Texas.
It is named after Howard E. Butt.

(3,580 posts)They give back to their communities. They showed up in our town to provide essential supplies before they even had a store here, just the land for one, when we had a devastating flood that damaged or destroyed 400 homes and killed eight people. They set up a canopy and portable tables in the high school parking lot and trucked in supplies. No price gouging either.
It's a shame Mr. Butt's freedom to support what he values is being targeted. Yet another example of how the Republicans in Texas are oppressive extremists.
