New H-E-B supermarket in Prosper has an official opening date
H-E-B
The day has arrived for grocery shoppers in Prosper: Texas supermarket chain H-E-B has an opening date for its store in Prosper, at 2145 W. Frontier Pkwy. at the southeast corner of the Dallas North Tollway: The date is Wednesday August 13.
Grand opening events will include the chain's trademark fanfare such as media stationed to get those live shots of people rushing into the store at its 6 am opening time.
The new store will showcase all the products and services H-E-B customers have come to expect, including a full-service H-E-B Pharmacy with drive-thru, Curbside and Home Delivery service, Wellness Primary Care clinic, and a True Texas BBQ restaurant with drive-thru.
It will also incorporate energy-efficient additions such as CO2 refrigeration units, LED lighting, and native landscaping.
The timing is good for Prosper-area shoppers who can now more easily check out the five H-E-B must-have items as recommended by Food & Wine.
Prosper will join H-E-B stores that have opened in Plano, Frisco, Allen, McKinney, and Melissa, plus two in Tarrant County: Fort Worth/Alliance, and Mansfield.
At 132,000 square feet, Prosper will be slightly bigger than the 118,000-square-foot stores in Plano and Frisco, and bigger than the 117,000-square-foot store in Allen, but not as big as Melissa, which is 136,000 square feet.
The Prosper location is part of H-E-B's expansion across North Texas. They also have these stores in the works:
- Rockwall- Southwest corner John King Boulevard and I30, which broke ground in June 2024
- Forney - at U.S. 80 and Gateway Boulevard, anticipated to open in early 2026
- Irving - at I-635 and Olympus Boulevard in front of the former Fry’s electronics store, expected to open in late 2026
- Denton - at the northwest corner of Interstate 35W and Robson Ranch Road
- Dallas - at the southeast corner of Hillcrest Road and LBJ Freeway, opening still TBD
H-E-B has been in Dallas since 2001 when it opened its first high-end chain Central Market, which now has six locations in Dallas, Plano, Southlake, and Fort Worth. They also have two locations of their smaller-format Joe V's Smart Shop chain, one in southeast Dallas at 7700 Samuel Blvd., and another in southwest Dallas 4101 W. Wheatland Rd.
There's also progress on the long-awaited Central Market coming to Uptown Dallas in a former Albertson's store at 3524 McKinney Ave. at the corner of Lemmon Avenue, which has been closed since 2016.
