H-E-B opens new 125,000-square-foot store in Converse

H-E-B has opened a new 125,000-square-foot grocery store at the intersection of Interstate 10 East and Loop 1604. The location serves the growing eastern edge of San Antonio, including Converse, Seguin, and La Vernia.

The facility features a True Texas BBQ restaurant with indoor seating and drive-thru service, a pharmacy with drive-thru capabilities, and a bakery producing artisan breads and tortillas daily. Other amenities include a Sushiya sushi station, an Asian grill, Meal Simple prepared meals, and a meat market offering Wagyu and organic options.

Designed with energy-efficient features like LED lighting and CO2 refrigeration, the store incorporates local aesthetics such as Texas limestone and wood-tone paneling. To mark the opening, H-E-B donated $40,000 to the community. A convenience store with a fuel station and car wash is currently under construction and is expected to open in summer 2027.
