In a move that signals continued growth and expansion, H-E-B, the beloved Texas-based grocery chain, has announced plans for a new store in Forney, Texas. This development comes on the heels of the recent opening of an H-E-B store in McKinney, which saw enthusiastic support from loyal patrons.
Expansion Plans Unveiled
The expansion into Forney marks another milestone for H-E-B as it strengthens its presence in North Texas. The new store will be situated in The Villages at Gateway development, strategically located east of North Gateway Boulevard and Highway 80. Forney Mayor Jason Roberson expressed excitement about the prospect, emphasizing the positive impact this partnership will bring to the community.

With a reputation for quality products, competitive prices, and exceptional customer service, H-E-B has cultivated a dedicated following over the years. The company’s commitment to growth underscores its confidence in the local market and its desire to serve communities beyond its traditional strongholds.
New Store Openings on the Horizon
The announcement of the Forney location is just one part of H-E-B’s ambitious expansion plans. In addition to the McKinney and Forney stores, H-E-B is set to open three new locations in 2024, including a second Frisco store, a Mansfield branch, and one in Fort Worth’s Alliance area. Moreover, there are future plans for stores in Melissa, Prosper, and Rockwall, indicating sustained momentum in the company’s growth trajectory.
Accessibility and Affordability
Recognizing the importance of accessibility and affordability, H-E-B is also introducing two low-cost Joe V’s Smart Shop stores in Dallas’s Pleasant Grove and Red Bird neighborhoods. This initiative aims to provide quality grocery options to underserved communities, further demonstrating H-E-B’s commitment to inclusivity and meeting the diverse needs of its customer base.
Community Engagement and Collaboration
Beyond its role as a retailer, H-E-B prioritizes community engagement and collaboration. The partnership with local officials in Forney exemplifies this approach, highlighting H-E-B’s efforts to forge meaningful connections and contribute to the social and economic vitality of the regions it serves.
Enriching Communities, One Store at a Time
As H-E-B continues to expand its footprint in North Texas and beyond, its impact goes beyond just providing groceries.
