In early June, word leaked that an H-E-B would be headlining a new, 30,000 square-foot dining and retail concept at Parkside at Alliance Town Center. The presses were rolling and Facebookers and Instagramers were engaging. Alas, Tarrant County finally had an H-E-B — and before Dallas County, no less. But, within 24 hours, a public relations firm representing Hillwood, the center's development company, performed damage control and recanted the previous announcement — it was premature.
Nearly five months later, we're able to make the announcement official: H-E-B will indeed be planting its flag at Parkside at Alliance Town Center, located at the northwest corner of Heritage Trace Parkway and N. Riverside Drive. This will, technically, be Fort Worth's first H-E-B — the city is already home to two Central Market locations.
H-E-B will join Torchy's Tacos, CAVA, Black Rife Coffee Company, and Dash Nail Spa as tenants at the new shopping and dining center. Groundbreaking for the new development will take place Nov. 16.
In August, the company announced they would be opening a location in Mansfield. That store, which will be H-E-B's first store in Tarrant County, will be located at the corner of US 287 and Broad Street.
For those scratching their heads at the immensity of this news, Fort Worthians have long pined for an H-E-B in their city. With Facebook groups dedicated to the cause, it appears residents have little doubt the grocery store, which is known for its low prices and quality store-brand items, will serve as a better shopping experience than the ho-hum Kroger and Tom Thumb.
