H-E-B Building 500 Acre Distribution Center

H-E-B has closed on a land deal in Hempstead, Texas, as part of a multi-phase plan to develop nearly 500 acres and several distribution facilities. The project will be south of U.S. Highway 290 and east of Highway 6. Hempstead is a town of less than 1,000, 60 miles northwest of Houston. Details about the campus are still in the planning phase and will be released as the project develops.

The project’s first phase of construction is expected to start in late 2024. In the long term, the campus will include facilities to support H-E-B’s supply chain operations.

“The land purchase is the first step in the development of this strategically planned campus, a project that will position H-E-B to better serve our customers well into the future,” said H-E-B chief supply chain officer, Carson Landsgard.

H-E-B is the largest private employer in Texas. The company has 334 stores in Texas.
