H-E-B appears to have plans to build another Fort Worth grocery store. Here’s where.

H-E-B appears to have plans for yet another Fort Worth grocery store, this one on the south side of the city.

Deeds filed March 10 in Tarrant County show the grocery store purchased about 15 acres at The Shops at Chisholm Trail Ranch development in far south Fort Worth.

The site is on the northern side of McPherson Boulevard, between the Chisholm Trail Parkway and Summer Creek Drive. The large block is mostly empty, cleared dirt except for a Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers that recently opened.

The Texas-based, privately owned grocery chain declined to discuss details about its plans Monday.

“We recently purchased the property in anticipation of our future needs,” said H-E-B spokesperson Mabrie Jackson.

The deed records show that H-E-B acquired the property from the developer and entered an agreement that lays out details about types of out-parcel restaurants, easements and signage. Included in the records are drawings showing various options for H-E-B signs. Construction of an H-E-B typically takes around 15 months.

H-E-B’s purchase of the property doesn’t mean a grocery store is an absolute certainty, but it’s a pretty good sign.

H-E-B previously purchased land in Mansfield and Alliance before formally announcing it would open stores there. The San Antonio-based company has a large real estate portfolio and has been buying up land across North Texas for years as part of a commitment to expand its North Texas footprint.

H-E-B began construction in November on the Alliance store in far north Fort Worth at Heritage Trace Parkway and North Riverside Drive. The H-E-B Alliance is expected to open in spring 2024.

The grocery chain broke ground on the Mansfield store in February. The store at U.S. 287 and Broad Street is also slated to open in 2024.

H-E-B has more than 400 locations in Texas and Mexico and achieved $34 billion in sales. It is the largest private employer in Texas with more than 145,000 employees across the state.
