H-E-B Bellaire Market, the first local, multi-level store, will open to the public Wednesday, June 27 at 6 a.m.

“H-E-B believes in giving back to the community,” said Scott McClelland, president, H-E-B Houston division, at the media preview. During the preview event, the retailer did just that by recognizing and donating to two local causes: Nature Discovery Center and nonprofit Undies for Everyone. Henry Owen, executive director of Nature Discovery Center, and Julia Hayon, Director of Operations at local nonprofit Undies for Everyone, were both surprised and thrilled to be recognized, and appreciative for the donation.

The store, located at 5106 Bissonnet St., doubles the size of the original location at 78,000 square feet and includes two levels, covered parking, elevators and escalators. As shoppers use the escalator, they’ll enjoy an interactive light installation called Blue by You by Texas artist Ansen Seale.

At the new store, you’ll find products and offerings such as: H-E-B Curbside; a large selection of Kosher items; organic options; the full line of H-E-B Meal Simple heat and eat options; a large assortment of Texas-made products; Prime Case Butcher Shop; a fully-stocked Healthy Living department; a full-service pharmacy with drive-through access; full-service seafood department; wine and beer selection (samplings in store!) with an emphasis on Texas craft and hyper local craft, including four kegs on tap; a full-service Scratch Bakery and Tortilleria; H-E-B Floral; Cooking Connection and the Showtime Kitchen (live demonstrations and daily samplings) and more.

This is what shoppers will see as they use the escalators – the art installation Blue by You by Texas artist Ansean Seale. Buzz resident Lea Weingarten, Principal of Weingarten Art Group, connected Ansen Seale to H-E-B.

Also, look forward to The Roastery, a coffee shop and eatery with indoor and outdoor seating, coming soon.

Welcome to the neighborhood, H-E-B Bellaire.
