Welcome aboard!
This account will be a pictoral journal of every HEB I visit. I tend to explore around Texas quite a lot, and 9 times out of 10 I'll head on over to HEB to either pick up something or just vibe and explore around.
Hope you'll enjoy the ride!

The former Upton county courthouse in the ghost town of Upland. Per the Texas State Historical Association: "Upland was located near the geographic center of Upton County northwest of the site of present-day Rankin. The town was platted by Henry M. Halff in about 1908 and grew quickly to include numerous businesses, a church, and a school that began in October 1908. A post office opened in 1907 with Edward B. Coatwright as postmaster. To encourage development, Halff sold both businesses and residential lots and built a hotel and a general store. Future prosperity seemed assured when Upland was proclaimed the first county seat on May 7, 1910. Later that year W. D. Riser established the Upland Roundup, the first county newspaper.

But droughts, bad soil, and lack of adequate water sources hinted of impending disaster. The final blow came when the Orient Railroad built south of the town about 1911, causing many residents to leave. The hotel was moved to Rankin in 1912, and the newspaper followed three years later. In 1915 Rankin became the county seat. By the time the post office closed in 1918, Upland's population had dwindled to a few families. Nothing remained of the former county seat by the 1980s."

It's kind of sad to see the old courthouse standing out there all by its lonesome, isn't it?

The late 2024 view of the Austin skyline at night is delightful

The sign has a logo I sometimes see but it's usually on much older stores

Barnhouse HEB! These ones aren't common but I have seen one elsewhere in Texas. Not the biggest but also kinda cozy!

Fun fact! These laptop carts are actually repurposed Medical Grade laptop carts for hospitals. Instead of patients, it's now produce.

Sign outside is quite faded, gives it more character I guess

This HEB is very unique, the office area looks like a fancy office area. The natural light really adds to the aesthetic of this place.

This HEB also really has quite the round/circle theme to it

Note: I do actually have quite the backlog of pictures of HEBs going back like, the past few years. I'll intermix them with new pics depending on how I feel 😅

H-E-B undergoing remodel! It has quite the chaotic feeling to it. Will have to come back eventually to see it finished!
