San Antonio’s East Side is about to get a major boost — and a brand-new place to shop. A new H-E-B location is set to open on Tuesday, October 28, bringing with it more than 400 jobs for the local community, according to WOAI.

The opening marks a significant milestone for the East Side, a neighborhood that has long been a cornerstone of San Antonio’s culture and history. H-E-B, the beloved Texas-born grocery chain, has been a staple of San Antonio life for generations, and the arrival of a new full-service store signals fresh investment and opportunity in the area.

With more than 400 positions expected to be filled, the new store stands to make a meaningful difference for East Side residents seeking local employment. H-E-B stores typically offer a wide range of roles — from customer service and deli operations to pharmacy and management — giving job seekers at many skill levels a chance to join one of Texas’s most recognized employers.

For neighbors, the new location also means closer access to fresh groceries, prepared foods, and the wide selection H-E-B stores are known for — without having to travel far from home. Improved grocery access in underserved urban neighborhoods is widely recognized as a community health and quality-of-life win, and this opening checks both boxes.

San Antonio has consistently ranked among H-E-B’s most important markets, and the company’s continued expansion within the city reflects its deep roots here. The East Side store adds to a growing network of locations serving residents across all corners of the Alamo City.

Mark your calendars: the new H-E-B on San Antonio’s East Side opens October 28. Whether you’re looking for a new job or just a new favorite grocery run, this one is worth the trip.
