The 116,000 square-foot store will be the retailer’s furthest west large-format location in Houston to serve parts of Ft. Bend, Waller and Harris counties

H-E-B officially opened its newest Houston-area store, H-E-B Jordan Ranch, Wednesday, October 29th. The 116,000-square-foot store is located at 29711 Jordan Crossing Blvd. in the Jordan Ranch Market shopping center at the corner of Texas Heritage Parkway and Jordan Crossing.  

“Opening our doors in this growing community is an honor and we look forward to providing our neighbors with convenient, close-to-home shopping experiences and solutions,” said Juan Siso, Top Store Leader and 17-year H-E-B Partner. “As H-E-B Jordan Ranch will be the furthest west large format H-E-B in the Houston region, we not only have the opportunity to grow with this Ft. Bend County area, but we will have the pleasure of serving those who will find their way to our aisles from nearby Waller and Harris counties.”

Continuing its growth in the Houston market, H-E-B introduces this developing community to a shopping destination with a commitment to deliver unsurpassed freshness and quality at H-E-B’s everyday low prices. Filled with exciting amenities and innovations that H-E-B is known for, the H-E-B Jordan Ranch has distinctive features such as our walk-up Seafood Boil stand just out front – select from shrimp, crawfish, crab, or lobster and let H-E-B do the work; a full-service H-E-B Pharmacy with drive-up spaces; and a massive H-E-B Curbside area with 37 parking spaces; and a fuel station with carwash. H-E-B is serving up its version of the internet’s favorite strawberry cup using premium ingredients with a local touch. This decadent dessert of warm, rich Belgian ganache poured over a cup of fresh, hand-selected strawberries is only available at our new Jordan Ranch location’s strawberry stand in the Bakery Department.

Inside and out, the new store reflects the unique character of the Jordan Ranch community. The store design, which has a modern prairie style, also emphasizes environmental sustainability, incorporating several energy efficient inclusions such as CO2 refrigeration units and LED lighting.

Through its Spirit of Giving philosophy, H-E-B is dedicated to its customers beyond its stores. H-E-B commemorated the store’s grand opening with donations totaling $20,000 to local nonprofits. H-E-B Jordan Ranch will serve three local school districts. Each district’s foundation will receive a $5,000 gift – Katy ISD Education Foundation, Lamar CISD Educational Awards Foundation, Royal ISD Education Foundation. Fulshear’s Texana Cafe will receive $5,000 in gift cards to support its  mission to make and serve exceptional food while supporting meaningful employment for neurodiverse individuals and to serve as a training ground for individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities to gain important work experience.
