Where is your source on this? The last one opened was in 2012. I wouldn't say the concept is dead just yet.

Convenience is one thing, but I'm not happy about the added traffic to my neighborhood. I could understand them putting it on Culebra Road itself, but smack dab in the middle of the neighborhood doesn't make sense to me.

I'm ok with it...but then I live in a gated community close by. I really feel that this will be a "our place" kind of HEB since the one on Culebra will remain open, and still get all the exposure...our little "hidden" gem! Either you live in here and know about it or you have NO idea it exists!

A little research will show you that alamo ranch parkway will turn into 151 outside 1604. This location is a great one and will mature Alamo Ranch.

You are very good at spreading misinformation on these forums.

The location they are building on Wilderness Oak is practically in the heart of Stone Oak. It makes great sense to build in a nested residential area and people are ecstatic about it. For one, it's walking distance for many. And two, those who do drive don't have to make it all the way to the 281 location.

Alamo Pkwy is going to be filled with shopping strips along with the HEB which is totally fine with me...I like it around the corner my late night trips will be cut in half now!

While I like HEB much better than Wally World, the prices for food IS cheaper at Wally...and if the competition makes it move, you could get squashed. Would be interesting to see if Walmart has bought property closer to us then the aboved mentions areas...which could push up build time to ensure your "loyalty"???? Competition is ALWAYS in the best interest of the consumer!!! It will be a reg HEB, not a PLUS store or Central Market type.
Is food cheaper at Walmart? It doesn't seem that way to me. Wasn't HEB involved in a lawsuit with Walmart a few years back about that claim also?
