Texas – H-E-B LP is set to open its first store in Prosper, Texas, on August 13, 2023. The new location covers 132,000 square feet and will bring 570 jobs to the area. It will be positioned at the southeast corner of Frontier Parkway and the Dallas North Tollway, conveniently located near Prosper High School.
This store marks H-E-B’s seventh outlet in Collin County and is the 11th store within the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. The range of employment opportunities includes in-store shoppers, baggers, and cashiers for individuals aged 16 and older, while certain positions will require applicants to be at least 18 years old. The store aims to cater to the growing population of Prosper and its surrounding communities.

In keeping with its focus on sustainability, the store has been designed with energy efficiency in mind. Features like CO2 refrigeration units and LED lighting will help reduce its environmental impact. Additionally, the landscaping at the new location will consist of native plants, further enhancing the store’s commitment to eco-friendly practices.
The upcoming opening is indicative of H-E-B’s continued expansion in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, where it is already present in cities such as Frisco, Plano, McKinney, and Allen, as well as two locations in Tarrant County. By constructing this new site in Prosper, H-E-B demonstrates its commitment to better serving customers across Texas, particularly in rapidly growing areas.
Apart from providing fresh groceries and household items, the store will also offer Curbside and Home Delivery services, making it a versatile shopping destination for local residents.
H-E-B’s history in the Dallas-Fort Worth area began with the opening of its first Central Market in 2001. Since then, the company has significantly boosted its presence in the region and plans to further expand its portfolio with two new Joe V’s Smart Shop locations in Dallas.
In celebration of the new store opening, H-E-B intends to donate $40,000 to local organizations as part of its Spirit of Giving philosophy.
