New York Stock Exchange will open office in Dallas

Dollar bills

The New York Stock Exchange is coming to Texas. According to a release, the financial institution plans to launch NYSE Texas, an electronic equities exchange to be headquartered in Dallas, where it will provide companies with a listing and trading venue that is centered on the economy of the Southwest.

As part of the plan, they'll close down NYSE Chicago to be renamed NYSE Texas.

"What remains of the Chicago Stock Exchange will be history," says the Chicago Sun Times. "The New York Stock Exchange owns what’s left of the equities marketplace and has announced it will move it to Dallas and reincorporate it as the NYSE Texas."

The New York Stock Exchange is an American stock exchange in New York's financial district, under parent company the Intercontinental Exchange. It exists to help people invest and businesses to raise capital. Investing money into stocks and bonds is one way that not-rich people can build a nest egg.

The expansion to Texas is just a reflection of the fact that Texas' economy is growing, says NYSE Group president Lynn Martin.

“As the state with the largest number of NYSE listings, representing over $3.7 trillion in market value for our community, Texas is a market leader in fostering a pro-business atmosphere,” Martin says. “We are delighted to expand our presence in the Lone Star State, which plays a key role in driving our U.S. economy forward.”'

The move comes five months after the Texas Stock Exchange — AKA NASDAQ — announced it would launch in Dallas and begin trading in 2026, pending approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Texas Stock Exchange is backed by financial giants such as BlackRock, Citadel Securities, and Charles Schwab.

Having these exchanges in Texas will give companies more opportunities to list their companies and go public, and will give Texas a higher profile as "the financial capital of America," says Texas Governor Greg Abbott in a statement.

Both new exchanges — NYSE and Texas Stock Exchange — will operate electronically, with stocks trading across multiple venues regardless of where they are first listed.

H-E-B is planning a major upgrade for Ennis grocery shoppers, with a new location that will be more than twice the size of the existing store, which has served residents of Ennis for more than five decades.

A forthcoming 112,000-square-foot Ennis H-E-B is planned for the corner of N. Sonoma Trail and E. Ennis Ave. The current store will remain open until the new location is up and running in late 2028, according to a news release. H-E-B adds that no plans have been made for the property that houses the existing store once it closes.

“We are proud to have served our neighbors in Ennis for more than 50 years," Mabrie Jackson, H‑E‑B’s managing director of public affairs, says in the release. "We hope our new store will continue to be an important part of this community.”

At Ennis' new H-E-B, shoppers can look forward to similar services, quality products, and low prices found in other H‑E‑B locations, the company says. The new store will include a full-service pharmacy with drive-thru and offer both curbside and home delivery services. H-E-B’s much-loved South Flo Pizza will be available at the new store, too.

Jackson adds that the personality and character of Ennis will be reflected in the store's design, a show of the "deep gratitude" they have for their loyal customers in the neighborhood.

The forthcoming Ennis H-E-B, now in the early stages will include:

Bakery featuring handmade artisan breads, cakes, and warm tortillas made in-store daily
Meat and Seafood markets with prime, natural, and organic meats, fully cooked options, and fresh seafood delivered daily
Extensive craft beer and wine selections
Healthy Living department with bulk food items, sports nutrition products, and supplements
Beauty department with a wide selection of cosmetics and other beauty essentials
Pet department featuring H‑E‑B brand Heritage Ranch pet food plus toys and treats
H‑E‑B Blooms department with custom arrangements and décor items
H‑E‑B Texas Backyard for live plants, pottery, soil, and outdoor gardening needs
H‑E‑B Meal Simple section with fresh chef-inspired meals made in store
Sushiya sushi made in-store daily and Asian grill items such as rice and noodle bowls
H-E-B South Flo Pizza, freshly made and handcrafted in-house daily

H-E-B, a chain consistently rated among America's best grocers by industry and consumer reports, has been in rapid expansion mode across DFW in recent years; many stores, including Dallas, Denton, and Carrollton, are in the works.

With $49.6 billion in annual revenue, the H-E-B grocery chain appears at No. 11 on Forbes' inaugural list of America’s 100 largest family businesses.

Founded in 1905, H-E-B operates more than 460 grocery stores in the U.S. and Mexico. The company says its annual sales exceed $50 billion. The company employs over 175,000 Partners in Texas and Mexico, and serves millions of customers in more than 300 communities.
