H-E-B has purchased nearly 20 acres in Sherman, marking the latest step in the Texas grocery chain’s rapid expansion across North Texas.
The company confirmed it acquired a 19.8-acre site near the northwest corner of FM 1417 and U.S. 75, within the Sherman Crossroads development. While no construction date has been announced, local officials anticipate the store will become an anchor for the growing retail corridor.
“H-E-B looks forward to serving more Texans in the coming years,” company spokesperson Mabrie Jackson said in a statement.
The land sits within a 130-acre master-planned development and is just miles from a $30 billion Texas Instruments semiconductor plant currently under construction. That project is expected to bring thousands of new jobs to the area, accelerating residential and commercial growth in the region.
H-E-B’s entry into Sherman reflects a broader strategy to establish a foothold in fast-growing suburbs north of Dallas. The company has opened more than a dozen stores across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex since 2022, including locations in Frisco, Plano, Allen and Melissa.
In May, H-E-B opened a 131,000-square-foot store in Melissa, and construction is expected to begin later this year on another location in Fort Worth’s Walsh Ranch neighborhood. The company has also purchased land in Flower Mound and Rockwall, among other cities.
Sherman city leaders welcomed the announcement, saying the grocery chain’s investment will help solidify the city’s role as a regional retail hub.
H-E-B, which is headquartered in San Antonio, remains one of the largest privately held companies in Texas. Though long dominant in Central and South Texas, its push into the Dallas-Fort Worth area marks one of the most significant expansions in its 119-year history.
The company has not provided a timeline for the Sherman store’s development.
