H-E-B is set to make a significant investment in North Texas with the construction of a new store in Aledo, scheduled to begin on October 20, 2023. The project, estimated to cost $18 million, will culminate in the completion of a store covering approximately 127,754 square feet, with an anticipated opening date of December 16, 2026.
The new H-E-B store will be located at the intersection of FM 3325 and the I-20 Service Road, in close proximity to the Walsh Ranch development, a major residential area that spans 7,200 acres in west Fort Worth. The area currently hosts about 1,500 homes and has the potential to expand to approximately 4,000 homes and serve up to 50,000 residents upon full completion.
Aledo, Texas, is home to around 6,200 residents and has earned a reputation as a high school football powerhouse, particularly for its celebrated team, the Aledo Bearcats, who have claimed 12 state championships from 1998 to 2023. The community anticipates that the new H-E-B store will act as a vital resource for local residents, including youth athletes who aspire to be future football stars.
This newest store is part of H-E-B’s strategy to enhance its presence and compete more vigorously within the North Texas retail market. Since entering the area in 2022, H-E-B has opened 17 stores in North Texas, with plans for nine additional locations either under construction or in the planning stages within the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Furthermore, an existing H-E-B store in Hudson Oaks is located less than 10 miles from the new site in Aledo, showcasing the company’s commitment to expanding access to its services in the region.
The Walsh Ranch development has historical significance, with planning discussions beginning in the 1970s and initiated by the late F. Howard Walsh. It aims to provide a comprehensive living environment combining residential and commercial aspects in a growing part of Texas.
As H-E-B continues to solidify its foothold in North Texas, community members are looking forward to the range of services and products the new store will offer. The anticipated H-E-B in Aledo is expected to enhance the shopping experience for local residents and contribute positively to the community’s development.
