In a long-awaited addition to San Antonio’s far West Side, the brand-new H-E-B store at Culebra Road and Highway 211 officially opened its doors, serving as a one-stop destination for residents in the fast-growing area—including nearby communities in Lakehills, Mico, and Medina Lake.
Spanning 120,000 square feet, the Culebra & 211 H-E-B is designed to meet the everyday needs of local families while offering thoughtful touches that reflect the character of the surrounding community. The store boasts a full suite of signature departments and amenities that H-E-B shoppers across Texas have come to love, including curbside pickup, home delivery, a drive-thru pharmacy, and even a True Texas BBQ restaurant with its own drive-thru.
“Our store Partners are thrilled to finally open our doors to this amazing community,” said Beto Ardilla, General Manager of the new Culebra & 211 H-E-B. “This has been a highly anticipated store, and our Partners are ready to serve our customers with top-notch service, great selection, and a quality shopping experience.”
