I’m pretty sure HEB is just a TX thing. If we want an HEB we’re going to have to
Come up with our own version. I’ll get to work on that as soon as I win the lottery.
Oh, ok. Glad you have a read on everything. Thank goodness Ryan is here to tell us that. But Fort Worth, with their Stockyards and everything they have, are just the uber-cool kids. Got it. Same with Collin County and their crazy soccer moms. OKC has neither of those, and therefore isn't cool. Got it.
Lubbock has one so there's go the theory of cool and desirable market lol.
I think okc is doing ok. The state of Oklahoma does have some serious problems and yes being in Oklahoma has been a deal breaker for various industries and amenities(H-E-B would be a massive get) that tbh OKC or tulsa would have easily competed for had we been in a better reputable state. A lot of people don’t actually know where Oklahoma is or have any real knowledge about it. Then you get a genuinely jabroni like sally kern or Nathan Dahm making the news.or a statewide adult illiteracy up at 25%
That would be a conversation stopper for a lot of people.,
Any criticism I’ve made are valid
Sshhh Don’t tell chef Gordon Ramsey how backwoods we are.
Gawd Buc-ee’s is at the bottom of the retail wish list. It’s not a flex.
HEB does have stores in Mexico too. If you haven't ever been in one....they're just a really good grocery store. It's like Sprouts and Crest had a baby. The prices are fair, but the variety of specialty items and really good stuff is just awesome.
As for Buccees, they're in other southern states like Alabama and Louisiana. They're just a big gas station folks. I know it has this cult following and all, but at the end of the day, it's just a very large gas station that takes up a ridiculous amount of space. Which means they also can't build as many of them without saturating their market. Would you rather have one big Buccees or 5 OnCues? For me, i'll stick with OnCue. I want the local element of the gas station rather than the size. We're not hurting for places to eat or to buy random merch.
H-E-B is actually the best grocery store I’ve ever been too. They storemade tortillas are excellent. The selection at the superstores surpasses any wholesale distributer I’ve visited. I have routinely spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars (even when just popping in for incidental purchases) on stuff that I only realized I need when in the store.,I love H-E-B more than I claim to hate Wichita and that says a lot coming from me
Agreed. Every time I go in one, I end up with more than I planned because it just looks so damned good.
I also know someone in HEB management. Per him, a property has already been purchased in Ardmore for a HEB to be built there in 2030. If HEB is going to expand into Oklahoma, from a supply chain standpoint, Ardmore makes sense as a first location.
