San Antonio-based H-E-B has introduced its rebranded H-E-B Fresh Bites convenience store, which will provide customers more fresh options, such as produce, prepared food and meal options.
On April 13, the first H-E-B Fresh Bites opened adjacent to the H-E-B on Ronald Reagan Blvd. in Leander, Texas, which also features the company’s second True Texas Tacos restaurant.
Additionally, the convenience store in Lytle is also undergoing renovations and will introduce the Fresh Bites brand when work is complete in the coming weeks. The Lytle location, which remains operational during renovations, will also include a True Texas Tacos restaurant.
With the opening of the Leander location, H-E-B has 12 convenience stores throughout Texas. Beginning this year, the company will continue its plans to update the layout of the remaining convenience stores to the H-E-B Fresh Bites brand. No plans or timelines have been set for updates to the other locations.
H-E-B Fresh Bites will offer customers a variety of fresh options beyond offerings usually found at a traditional convenience store. H-E-B Fresh Bites locations will feature several refrigerated cases stocked with items, such as fresh produce, salads, sandwiches and sushi made daily, meat and cheese snacks, fresh juices, kombucha and meal simple options.
Throughout the store, customers will find H-E-B Select Ingredients items in addition to normal convenience offerings, such as soft drink fountains, beer and wine and other snacks.
“At H-E-B, we’re always looking to provide Texans convenient ways to get their hands on quality, fresh foods that are good for them,” said Scott Campbell, convenience store operations manager. “With the introduction of H-E-B Fresh Bites, we’re bringing the freshest products to our customers who are on the go but want a better alternative to traditional convenience store snacks.
“The True Texas Tacos concept, which H-E-B launched in San Antonio in 2018, showcases a menu of more than a dozen breakfast and specialty tacos made with the freshest ingredients. Tacos range from traditional Tex-Mex offerings such as bacon and egg and bean and cheese to specialty bites such as barbacoa and chopped Texas brisket.
“Customers can even get creative, mixing ingredients to make their own unique, specialty tacos. All flour tortillas are made in house and corn tortillas are available upon request. And for that extra spicy kick, there’s a salsa bar with several spicy sauces and taco-appropriate condiments.”
