[Sca-cooks] HEB Supermarkets

[Jennifer Thompson]

Nope, Stefan, not HEB. HEB's reach extends north to Waxahachie, Ennis and
Cleburne, but so far that's it. Though they are discussing opening in Ft.
Worth and Dallas soon.

And FYI, they are based and started in San Antonio, not Austin. All the rest
of your comment is dead on, though, bright clean stores, stocked with
specialty items (the meat department, too) and good quality private label
stuff, too. 8-) And they are growing by leaps and bounds.
