H-E-B Expands Curbside, Home Delivery Program

Now that H-E-B has opened grocery stores in North Texas, they need warehouse space for their grocery delivery business. To help meet rising demand for online shopping, the company has opened an e-commerce fulfillment (EFC) center in Plano. It will stock goods found in stores, which will be used to fulfill curbside and home delivery orders. H-E-B says the facility will allow for “more capacity, greater efficiency, less aisle congestion for the in-store shopper, and better product availability.”

The facility, which will open later this summer, is part of the store that opened on Preston Road in 2022. The Plano EFC is the first of its kind in North Texas, but the sixth in the company. Two of the EFCs are free-standing while four are attached to stores. The company said it plans to hire around 125 employees for the expanded Plano facility.

H-E-B opened its first grocery store locations in Frisco and Plano in 2022, and plans to open more in Fort Worth, McKinney, Allen, and Forney.
