Fast-growing H-E-B has snatched up more property in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The popular grocer has purchased about 20 acres in Sherman, adding to its holdings in North Texas. The site is located at the northwest quadrant of the intersection of FM 1417 and US 75.
“There is no construction date set,” said Mabrie Jackson, managing director of public affairs for H-E-B and Central Market, in a message. “However, we look forward to serving more Texans in the coming years.”
H-E-B is ramping up in North Texas with more property and stores as it looks to attract additional customers and challenge more entrenched rivals such as Walmart and Kroger. The company recently purchased a roughly 23-acre site in Flower Mound and earlier this year opened a site in Melissa.

H-E-B has continued to add stores to the area after opening a site in Frisco. Since then, it has added locations in Plano and McKinney, among others, and has announced plans for others including the Fort Worth area.
According to a Grayson County deed records, H-E-B LP purchased roughly 20 acres in June from Sherman Crossroads. Sherman Crossroads is a 130-acre land-development project of Harkinson Development and Heritage Development Partners in the southern sector of Sherman, according to a website.
