Too close to Central Market, the Target might be an issue, and the neighborhood around the corner on McCallum might not be to their liking demographically. I keep hearing this about HEB, that they are targeting only affluent areas. And it may seem that way since their first stores are going to be i...

I assume Central Market is waiting for the demographics to change enough before they actually build the Bishop Arts store. I expect to wait quite awhile. A Sprouts in the area would be most welcome. I'd prefer a Sprouts to Central Market actually, for everyday shopping anyway.
