H-E-B’s reinvestment in the Bellaire community has gone vertical. H-E-B Bellaire Market, the retailer’s first Houston-area multi-level store located at 5106 Bissonnet Street, will open Wednesday, June 27 at 6 a.m. where one of its original H-E-B Pantry stores once stood. The brand new, 78,000 sq.-ft. store more than doubles the size of the original location and features two levels of shopping options, expanded and covered parking in the first-floor garage, and is equipped with elevators and escalators to easily navigate between the store and garage.

“We have been a part of the Bellaire community for more than 24 years and are committed to our loyal customer following,” said Armando Perez, Senior Vice President, H-E-B Houston. “While the Bellaire store will offer an enhanced in-store experience with the highest standard of service and selection, we are also always looking for ways to be innovative and connect with our customers on a new level.”

THIS STORE HAS MORE – AN ARTFUL EXPERIENCE

“H-E-B has succeeded with innovative shopping and progressive in-store experiences for years and we felt it was time to take it up a notch,” said Perez. H-E-B Bellaire Market will kick-off the company’s arts initiative with a permanent interactive light installation called Blue by You, by Texas artist Ansen Seale. As shoppers move in the space, the piece – composed of acrylic, LED lights and aluminum – responds by changing color, leaving a trail behind the moving person. “My intention is the viewer becomes the creator, riding a self-generated wave of color to and from an everyday experience,” said Seale. Moving forward in all Houston multi-level stores, the company will commission an artist to create a custom, site-specific installation, adding an engaging element to each neighborhood’s H-E-B.

ENGAGING FOOD CONVENIENCES

Each customer’s priority is our priority, allowing you to shop any way you want. Whether it’s an in-store experience, ordering online and picking up, or grabbing a meal on the go – H-E-B Bellaire Market has it all.

THE LOCAL RESOURCE FOR HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES

“We have updated and upgraded the store, but we are still committed to providing healthy food choices, specialty items tailored to Bellaire’s needs and the extraordinary customer service that you have come to expect,” added Hugh Sintic, H-E-B Bellaire Market General Manager.

In addition to an unrivaled selection of Kosher items – from fresh meats to dry goods, as well as dairy and pareve breads – H-E-B Bellaire Market will serve as a quality living source that supports healthy eating on a budget. The store will feature hundreds of H-E-B Organics options and its new H-E-B Select Ingredients, a line consisting of H-E-B brand products that excludes unwanted ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors.

Across this expansive store – from local produce to the fresh meat market to the freezer section – shoppers will find more offerings for less, and unsurpassed freshness, quality and variety.

SPIRIT OF GIVING

H-E-B is passionately committed to its customers beyond the four walls of its stores, weaving an undeniable Spirit of Giving into its business philosophy. In this spirit, H-E-B is proud to announce two community donations totaling $10,000 in honor of the store’s grand opening. The Hana and Arthur Ginzbarg Nature Discovery Center was established to ignite life-long curiosity, understanding, and respect for nature through education and will receive $5,000. A second gift of $5,000 will go to Undies for Everyone. Undies for Everyone enhances the self-esteem, dignity, hygiene and success of disadvantaged students by providing them underwear throughout Houston and beyond.
