HEB buying the Brookshires chain?

[knighttime]

Word is that there are bids on the table from HEB and Albertson's. If Albertson's wins the deal, I'm gonna have to move.

You can still shop at walmart!!!

Brookshires donated $1000 to our high school athletic program last Friday night . think it said they are over $150,000 donated to east Texas schools this year...

Yep, bet a bunch of the supporters of HEB on here did not know that HEB was such a big supporter of 'Sanctuary Cities'.........

Hey who cares about sanctuary cities and illegal immigration as long as we get good prices at the grocery store

My other reason for leanings against HEB stem from when I lived in a city with no other options than them. Their service and inventory was horrible.

Only place I have ever been where they were complete sold out of basics like bread, milk, etc. Not that they did not have the brand or type you liked, but COMPLETELY SOLD OUT OF EVERYTHING!

Lastly, for those that think HEB has variety of selection do not understand HEB's inventory/pricing policies. Variety of choice is antithesis to their stated value proposition.

They had no incentive to improve it either seeing they were the only game in town.

X2. Ever since HEB took care of the first responders during the magnolia fire a few years ago, ALL our groceries come from the HEB.

Can't wait till the one in magnolia is ready

I live in Magnola off 1486.

Where is the new HEB going in?

HEB is a great company. They treat their employees great, very flexible for college kids schedules, offer buttloads of scholarships, everything is just top notch compared to most places. When they push a smaller busniess out of town they usually try to buy them out for a generous sum. There was a Baumann's market here in town, very small store for a small town. They bought them out before they finished construction on the HEB. That earned a lot of respect in my eyes, classy move in the business world IMO.
