While the South Congress H-E-B underwent renovation, the company continued to serve its customers from a temporary location at the Twin Oaks Shopping Center at 2301 S. Congress Ave. The temporary site will soon be vacated as operations return to the original and now significantly upgraded location.

“Our vision has always been to create a store that our customers will be proud of, an iconic location that reflects the personality and vibrancy of the South Congress community,” Harm told

The new store will not only retain architectural nods to its historic past but also aims to celebrate the local community’s art and cultural legacy with Texas artwork and an array of amenities tailored to enrich the shopping experience.

With the new H-E-B poised to open, residents of the South Congress neighborhood can anticipate once again having their go-to grocery oasis, which stands as a testament to the company’s six-decade-long commitment to Austin’s community and its grocery needs.
