H-E-B Location in Victoria is Set for $2.8M Renovation

H-E-B is trending across the state with renovations and Victoria, Texas is next on the list.  My San Antonio reports that the remodel is set to take place at the H-E-B at 1505 E. Rio Grande (South Side location in Victoria). The remodel cost is estimated to be over $2.8 million. This HEB store is 74.459 square feet.

THE ORIGINAL "SOUTH SIDE" HEB:

The HEB that stands on the south side today looks much different than it did in the 80s/90s.

This was the grocery store of my childhood, well alongside, Dicks Food Store on Moody Street and Neuman's.  That location was eventually flattened and the HEB that currently stands on Laurent was built.Oh yeah, it used to face Rio Grande and not Laurent.

What some of you might not know is that before H-E-B moved to that location it was located in Downtown Victoria on Main St. It was the building that is located across from where the 700 Main Center is located today.  I do have memories of being in this store as a young child.  Who remembers shopping at either of these locations?

If I can recall H-E-B has called a total of five different locations home  in Victoria

The update will include renovating the interior of the existing H-E-B, that's it for now! The filing did not release further details of what exactly is planned for the store. However, based on previous renovations and alterations, nothing is off the table for the slated project.  For those of us in Victoria, the remodel of the "South Side" HEB will be a welcomed site.
