Shopping

Montgomery residents who have been looking forward to shopping at their own H-E-B won't have to wait much longer. The new grocery store at 20025 Eva Street in Montgomery will officially open at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, November 11, bringing a full-service H-E-B, True Texas BBQ and a variety of fresh food options to the growing Highway 105 area.

For local families, the biggest draw may be having an H-E-B closer to home. Whether it's a weekly grocery trip, a last-minute stop for dinner ingredients or picking up something for the kids' lunches, the new location will give Montgomery shoppers another option without having to travel farther into the Lake Conroe or Conroe areas.

H-E-B held a celebration on Tuesday, November 10, ahead of the grand opening, welcoming members of the Montgomery community, local businesses and organizations. The event also included a flag-raising ceremony recognizing Montgomery's history as the birthplace of the Texas flag.

What's Inside the New Montgomery H-E-B?

The new store will offer the familiar H-E-B departments and products Texans have come to know, along with several options that may be especially convenient for families on the go.

One of those is True Texas BBQ, H-E-B's in-store barbecue restaurant, which serves meats slow-smoked in-house for more than 14 hours. Customers can order ahead through the True Texas BBQ app and choose dine-in, pickup or drive-thru service.

For those evenings when cooking a full dinner isn't in the cards, the store will also carry H-E-B Meal Simple, a selection of chef-inspired meals that can be heated or prepared at home in minutes.

Shoppers will also find:

• Fresh Meat Department: Premium beef selections, including H-E-B Prime 1, grass-fed, natural and Wagyu beef, with certified meat cutters available for custom orders.

• Fresh Seafood: Fish and shellfish selections, with fresh deliveries seven days a week and an emphasis on responsibly sourced seafood.

• Produce: Fresh fruits and vegetables, including Texas-grown options, pre-cut produce and freshly made guacamole.

• H-E-B Brand Products: Store favorites such as Creamy Creations ice cream, Mootopia milk, Café Olé coffee, bakery tortilla chips and other H-E-B exclusives.

• Prepared Meals: Ready-to-heat and cook-at-home options for quick lunches and family dinners.

The new location also promotes curbside grocery pickup and home delivery, giving residents the option to shop without spending time walking the aisles.

Additional store features previously announced for the Montgomery location include a bakery, outdoor seafood boil area, fuel station and car wash.

New H-E-B Represents a $30 Million Investment in Montgomery

The new store is a sizable addition to Montgomery's retail offerings.

According to construction information filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the project covers approximately 127,186 square feet, with an estimated construction cost of $30 million.

The filing lists December 8, 2025, as the scheduled construction start date and August 26, 2026, as the anticipated completion date.

Located near FM 2854 and Highway 105 West, the store joins an area that has seen continued residential and commercial development as more families make Montgomery and the surrounding Lake Conroe communities their home.

For residents who have watched new neighborhoods and businesses appear along Highway 105, the H-E-B opening is another noticeable change. It also brings a major grocery retailer to an area where shopping options have become increasingly important as the population grows.

A Texas Grocery Store in the Birthplace of the Texas Flag

There's a fitting connection between H-E-B and Montgomery.

H-E-B has been serving Texas communities since 1905, growing from a small family grocery business into a retailer known for its Texas-focused products and longstanding community ties.

Montgomery, meanwhile, is known as the birthplace of the Texas flag, a piece of local history that was recognized during Tuesday's pre-opening celebration.

The flag-raising ceremony brought that history into the store's opening festivities, offering a distinctly Montgomery welcome for the Texas grocery chain.

When Does the New Montgomery H-E-B Open?

The new Montgomery H-E-B will welcome its first shoppers on Wednesday morning.
