I don’t think El Paso is getting an HEB before Dallas. It’s still a long ways away.

Speaking rock can have legal poker rooms as long as the house doesn’t rake. At least that’s what they’ve told me in the various Austin poker tables I play at.
My brother worked for HEB in San Antonio. It has nothing to do with not being Texas enough. Its all about distance and we're too far for them according to HEB Big Wigs. Dallas I'm for another reason.
That'll sell out quickly. Monster truck does every March so why wouldn't Wrestlemania?
Think outside the box for the Sun Bowl?

A relative from San Antonio trucked some building materials for a new HEB warehouse being built on the Eastside. Doesn't mean anything other than they're building a warehouse. Also starting to see Safeway products at Albertson's. FWIW.
"The City is trying to put a halt to playing music after midnight at every El Paso bar and restaurant."

The Pershing Inn makes a killing on this. Now during the cold season they put up a tent and put the music inside the tent so they can skirt the rule that way, but the neighbors don't like the loud music.
Yooo this is a major scoop! Probably just a warehouse like you said, but if true...
Safeway bought Albertsons a year ago.
Work in the grocery business and hear Yes HEB is coming than no they not.
I don’t believe they will, but you can never say never.
I love my hometown but when the next big thing to come to El Paso talk is HEB? Yikes.
Not sure if this was mentioned yet but a Cheesecake factory is supposed to be built at Joe Battle and Pelicano.
Not a big deal, but if true it will do well in EP.

They're already in Odessa. They're building a warehouse for Mexican operations on el paso's Eastside. Only a matter of time I hope.
Not true. I have a lot of knowledge into this.
Cheesecake has a finalized lease for Cielo Vista mall. Starbucks and other tenants had to be relocated to make room. Cheesecake just acquired Fox Restaurant concepts and is expanding internationally so the project was put on hold.
I have also been in contact with Great Wolf Lodge and they told us "we wish we were broke ground yesterday". They plan to start in March with a Summer 2021 opening. They will have 10k sf of convention area.
HEB is not entering the market and neither is Trader Joes. TJ put a hault to expanding in Texas and is looking at other markets. HEB has no reason to expand to EP due to truck routes. Also, they are a "developer" in their own so they will not be a part of any one else's project.
Heb is a b*tch. They have no problem sending their trucks 16 hours south into Mexico but won’t go three hours west from their Odessa store.

As of January, there was uncertainty if the planned 12,000 sqft convention center would qualify for $40 million of state tax rebates. It sounds like it's not necessarily a deal-breaker, but if the convention center doesn't qualify, then it sounds like it would fall on the city to make up this $40 million. The article says Great Wolf Lodge has until mid-2020 to make a decision one way or another. Reading between the lines in the article, though, it sounds like all parties want the project to go forward, whatever happens with the rebates.
Maybe the rebates issue has been resolved; the article was from January, after all. I didn't find anything more recent. @WestTx12 seems to indicate that the project is going forward with a 10,000 sqft convention center, so maybe he knows something more concrete.
I'll say that 10,000 or 12,000 sqft is really small for a convention center and probably is stretching the intended purpose of those tax rebates. But on the other hand, come on, Texas, give El Paso a break for once.
They got all the incentives and approvals needed from the State for a 10k sf convention area.
Jesus man, that was a lot of disappointment in one post!
Screw H-E-B then, bring a Buc-ees to the EP region!
I think the problem El Paso is facing in attracting an HEB or Trader Joe’s is the control over the local market that Walmart has. There are four Walmart stores on the west side within an 8 mile radius. I was hoping we would get a Costco on the west side, but Sam’s Club has control over the El Paso market. Having lived in San Antonio, I know HEB is very involved with the community and takes great care of both their customers and employees.
