Aren't they following a similar strategy as when they entered Houston? Affluent fast growing suburbs, then infiltrate the established neighborhoods, something like that.

It looks like they could build something very similar to their Buffalo Heights mixed-used H-E-B in Houston. (I zoomed both maps to the same scale and superimposed the Lemmon block area on the Houston building in the graphic.) Might end up with a few less apartments in a slightly smaller building after setbacks. I'd also argue this block is in Oak Lawn, not “right in the heart of Turtle Creek,” and on a high-traffic, completely commercial street that could easily absorb this kind of development. The main concern would be blending the apartments that wrapped the backside of it into the residential area on those side streets.

My guess is that you are gonna get really mad. Would love to be wrong, but I think they are waiting for a lot more gentrification before starting on this one.
You're probably right.
Was just putting it out there, I know damn well they're kicking the can down the road when it comes to a core-adjacent/in-core store.

I'm not familiar with the strategy they followed when entering Houston, but if that's the strategy they used there, it's definitely at play in DFW. Affluent fast growing suburbs, check checkity check.

You're right, more Oak Lawn than heart of Turtle Creek. Remembered that intersection/plot being further south, got mixed up in my head. As far as what could eventually be built on that site, I'd love to see something similar to that Buffalo Heights mixed-use H-E-B. Would be so great for that area. Thanks for bringing that store to my attention, good info.

They will claim Turtle Creek cause every residential project on Oak Lawn, both sides of the AVenue that are offering rents 2,000 plus market themselves as in the heart of Turtle Creek. Hell Oak Lawn park was renamed Turtle Creek Park cause the foundation wanted to associate with the affluence of Turtle Creek rather than the old moniker of Oak LAwn associated with the gay scene in their eyes. If HEB built anything here, and I doubt they ever will as the Lemmon store is their option for this area, they would most likely call it Turtle Creek cause that's what developers do. Cherry-pick neighborhood brands to make their properties sound more valuable,

We are lucky the Kroger on Cedar Springs doesn't claim Turtle Creek the biggest hurdle to that is probably the reality that the Oak Lawn library won't be changing its name either. In fact, the Oak Lawn library added bars to its front porch to cut down on the homeless population sleeping there.
While I would love for HEB to build an Urban store on this Oaklawn/Turtle Creek plot and leave the Uptown location for Central Market, I think that is just not viable yet. The question will always be, even though Uptown is marketed at the upper price point, would we want a Central Market at the West Village site or an HEB? I know the affordable shopper in many of us wants an HEB rather than another high-end grocery but does HEB see more value in having a truly urban HEB in Uptown in the land that is perfectly poised to challenge Walmart on inner city dominance or will they stay with the store brand they have already advertised as coming already, Central Market.
HEB certainly could start building the store and announce it as an HEB during construction, and I don't think the city or the community would be upset and would fight the change. I think so many people are either so foreign to HEB stores or the opposite aka passionately in love with them in other markets that such a change wouldn't be seen as a downgrade but merely a good competitive entry into the urban grocery market.

I learned with Food Lion's entry into DFW that it costs a lot to build the distribution centers that you have to have before the stores can get enough customers to pay for the distribution centers. But I don't quite understand how HEB supplied the Central Market stores e.g. Greenville @ Lovers for all these years (decades) now. Is there a chance that lower priced HEB products could be rolled out to that location without a rebranding in the future too?

I guess you could call this circling the wagons or maybe it's more like crows overhead. As mentioned before they will continue to go for easy fruit aka the well-off suburban spots and will enter the inner city market eventually once they have a stable hold in the DFW market. The inner city grocery market seems to be just too cutthroat that HEB is still not ready to charge over that hill yet.

I was going to go on Saturday, but I'll probably go this evening, before payday tomorrow and with it being a work/school night, as the crowds likely won't be as bad.
On another note, the "It's just a grocery store!!!" folks are really quite annoying. Some of us have high standards for our shopping experience. It's not just about getting food.

I'd imagine it's a nostalgia thing for a lot of people who grew up in the non-DFW part of Texas. I remember people made a big deal about In-and-Out coming to Texas too, and it seemed like it meant the most to people who had grown up going there.
I'll probably check out HEB at some point, but it might be a few months before I do. I remember the In-and-Out craze felt like it last a while before the hype finally died down.

I'll wait till it's closer to drive to. I shop at two different Krogers that are within 3 miles of me. If I need fancier ingredients, I have two Whole Foods within a 5-mile distance of me plus an Eatzis in less than a mile. I visited HEB when I was in Austin, and it felt like a decent Walmart to me. Walmart every time I go the merchandise and store shelf selection is just meh. Walmart is a discount store through and through, and I don't doubt it will ever change I just need more than the cheap stuff for the sake of saving money. HEB seemed like the in-between of a Walmart and Target to me. I would be happy to support another Texas brand, but I am not driving to Frisco/Plano/McKinney just for groceries that's insane considering where I live. I am glad to see Walmart challenged, but until HEB figures out a way to open in the city of Dallas they are not on my radar until then.

I wonder how they could parlay that property they own along Lemmon into a store. It might have to be a midrise mixed use with parking underneath like the Tom Thumb near Victory. We are still waiting and waiting and waiting for the Central Market mixed use to start un Uptown at Lemmon and McKinney ave.
Re: H-E-B Has Finally Arrived in DFW!!!

I just don't see it in the cards. The Lemmon Ave parcel seems too small for a traditional store with an acre of parking. It might be large enough to support a ground floor store with 5-6 floors of apts, but it that layout would require underground parking. That setup seems like a lot of money expended to build a Central Market just down the street from the potential West Village CM.
It seems to me that one of the locations would be jettisoned. I cannot remember the timing, but were they already acquiring the lots for Lemmon Ave when the WV location became available? Perhaps they only ever intended one location for Oaklawn. If this is the case, good arguments for either location. McKinney Ave would really benefit from a grocer located at that spot. Is that optimal for HEB? On the other hand, Lemmon Ave would be a great location to compete with Whole Foods and Kroger.
I would think the McKinney Ave land would be more valuable if they just want to cash in on one of the locations. I guess we wait and see since HEB takes their good old sweet time to show their cards.

I seriously doubt anything is coming here except an empty plot up for sale. I think the building La Madeline is outdated and needs significant work to continue with tenants, and HEB is just ready to end the leases here, tear it down and sell off the land when their advisors tell them the right price is in the wind of the market. I think they will largely hold the land for a while to make sure no other store does try to build here, even in a mixed-use capacity. I could see them selling it off to Streetlights, who planned to build the highrise across the street on the gas station plot so Streetlights could have an easier time building a residential highrise. The Eatzis lot is full of complications cause of the need for the continued operation of Eatzis while construction is going on, and a residential highrise on this lot would fly through Oak Lawn Committee and City Council. It's all about the cost of building on one piece of land vs. the next, and I could easily see how this plot is cheaper to build on than the gas station lot across the street.

True as well, but I imagine even Eatzis prefers an Oak Lawn Ave address to a Lemmon Ave address. Hey, how about Eatzis temporary store on the HEB lot while they build a better-formatted project on the Eatzis lot with a urban integrated Eatzis with apartments that doesn't include a giant 7 story parking garage above ground. Then move Eatzis back over when the new project when the apartments above open and then build a second apartment tower phase on the HEB lot, tearing down the temporary Eatzi's.
Then again, Eatzis is a competitor to Central Market in that prepared foods are a big part of what grocery stores make money on now, so HEB wouldn't want to sell just to help Eatzis in any way.

Saw an interesting tidbit posted on the Friends of Oak Lawn facebook page by a real estate agent. There was a post about the old Mia's being demolished for a Kroger gas station and small convenience store, and someone asked why the Taco Bueno down the street was never replaced. Who knows if this is accurate, and it doesn't exactly say that the current owner of that block (H-E-B) will be the ground floor retail, but I'm daring to dream, lol:
It's under contract to a developer who has had several meetings with neighbors to get feedback and improve the project and then will come to the Oak Lawn Committee at some point in the future and then the city for final approval. My understanding is it will be a mixed use multifamily building with ground floor retail or restaurants, but don't quote me since I haven't seen the plans myself yet.

That's pretty gross about the Kroger gas station. Last thing that area needs is more gas stations. It's so strange how the street seemed to be going the right direction in the 80/90s (like the 2 floor retail plaza with underground parking, containing Gloria's and Buffalo Wild Wings) and then just receded to ultra car oriented development after that.
Hopefully the mixed use proposal for the HEB owned site will contain a Central Market or HEB. It wouldn't be a bad idea to make this the new Central Market location (which would serve both Uptown and Highland Park equally well) and then make the larger Uptown site an HEB.

It is pretty gross. The mid-block location is really odd, too. If it has to happen, it honestly would make more sense on the old Capital One site down the street. (The only potential silver lining is that the Shell at Lemmon and Oak Lawn which takes Kroger fuel points becomes redundant somehow and goes away, although I doubt most of its customers stop there because they have a Kroger Plus card.)
I also realized after re-reading the facebook post that "It's under contract to a developer" could also mean H-E-B is selling it off to someone else and abandoning Lemmon Avenue.

That might be a good thing. HEB seems to move really slowly on any land that they own. It would be great if they did something with this site, but I'd also rather they sell it to someone else rather than sit on it for years.

This article, mainly about Kroger, also brings up plans for an H-E-B location in Melissa, next to Buc-ee's on the east side of US 75, on ~43 acres. Also, interestingly, the article says H-E-B has acquired 4 acres on the west side of US 75; a small lot separate from the main store sounds like it could be gas pumps (and car wash?).

I sure hope that this will finally unwind their location-holding power and that they really are compelled to sell numerous local stores due to the merger. And I can't think of anyone poised with expensive grocery distribution centers to serve the area besides Aldi, but hopefully it would impel H-E-B to finally build a major DC right here and employ hundreds of local people at it.

Another H-E-B brand is coming to the area. "Joe V's Smart Shop", a brand that doesn't quite connotate 'grocery store' IMO, has been an H-E-B brand presence prior to now in Houston. According to several reports, the ex-Albertsons at US 67/Wheatland that was acquired by H-E-B a while back, is 1 of the 2 announced locations. The other is in Pleasant Grove near Buckner/Samuell. The brand is apparently lower-priced and a smaller format with an average of 10,000 items per store. Neither location is projected to open before Spring of 2025.

H-E-B has opened a new e-commerce fulfillment center next to its Plano store location at Preston/Spring Creek. It will serve not only Plano, but Allen, Frisco, and McKinney also.
This is similar to what Target has been doing in recent years, handling online orders through their stores (and using store stock for those orders) instead of all through distant distribution centers.
