“It is our privilege to continue to work with H-E-B as they grow their presence in Temple, Texas” said Adrian Cannady, president and CEO of Temple Economic Development Corporation. “H-E-B has seen many cycles of growth and expansion throughout their time in Temple and we are proud of the opportunities they continue to bring to our region. This expansion project, paired with Temple’s strategic location and immediate access to I-35, will work to strengthen H-E-B’s operations in Texas.”
The warehouse supports more than 100 H-E-B retail stores across the region, from Austin to Dallas, and has been operating in the Temple community since 2010.
