MARBLE FALLS, TX (May 27, 2016) – H-E-B is strengthening its connection with the blossoming Marble Falls community with plans to build a new Marble Falls store on the same property as the current store at 1503 Highway 1431 West, which will continue operations during the new store’s construction.
H-E-B first opened the current 82,104 square foot store in 1990 and sits on a 5.35-acre property. Over the last 20 years, H-E-B has spent nearly $7 million to improve and enhance the store, but as more growth continues in the area, the company decided a new store would serve customers better than additional improvements. H-E-B is adding to the land lease for a total of 11.74 acres, and the new, larger store will be built to the west of the current store.
"This is a tremendous opportunity to give our customers what they deserve – a larger variety of products and more shopping space," said David Crail, H-E-B Marble Falls Unit Director. "Our customers in Marble Falls have been incredibly patient and are deserving of a brand new H-E-B neighborhood store that expresses our appreciation for their loyalty. We look forward to building a shopping experience to the area that provides a one stop shop with the best quality, freshness and lowest prices for our shoppers."
H-E-B is in the process of initiating the land engineering research needed to develop and design the new store. The square footage, parking lot and features of the new store have not been finalized.
The timeline for the new store construction and opening is dependent upon the land engineering research and store design process. Once the new store is completed, the existing store will be razed to make more parking for the new store.
