“We’re thrilled to open our doors to this vibrant community and look forward to serving Melissa with the best of H-E-B,” said Juan-Carlos Rück, H-E-B EVP North West Food/Drug. “Our partners are committed to earning the confidence of our neighbors and providing customers with a dynamic, quality shopping experience.”

Filled with the amenities and innovations for which H-E-B is known, the store has distinctive features such as a two-level True Texas BBQ restaurant and full-service H-E-B Pharmacy, both with drive-thrus, and a fuel station with car wash.

The store also offers H-E-B Curbside and home delivery, digital services that give customers choices on how they shop, pay for and receive products.

The store, which will host sampling stations, live cooking demonstrations and customer engagement activities, reflects the character of the Melissa community. Its design emphasizes environmental sustainability, incorporating several energy-efficient features such as CO2 refrigeration units and LED lighting. image of entrance to H-E-B Melissa store

The store has 600 employees, most of whom live in the local area.

H-E-B commemorated the store’s grand opening with donations totaling $20,000 to local nonprofits.

Two gifts of $10,000 each supported Grace Food Pantry, which serves 100 families per week, and Mutts & Mayhem, which provides emergency search and rescue services for dogs and treats sick and injured animals.

In March, the retailer opened Joe V’s Smart Shop Buckner, the second location it has opened in Dallas and the format’s 12th location in Texas. Later this year, it plans to open stores in Rockwall and Prosper, which are under construction.
