Our client
Texas’s H-E-B grocery is one of the largest independently owned food retailers in the United States—and it has been family owned for over 100 years. The H-E-B acrostic stands for one of the stores earliest owners, Howard E. Butt, but today the letters are more commonly associated with the company’s tagline: “Here Everything’s Better.” H-E-B stores are known for their strong company culture, great customer service, and high-quality produce. Some locations even feature full-service coffee shops and samples prepared by the company’s Cooking Connection chefs to fuel customers as they shop.
Project highlights
Their challenge
H-E-B serves around 155 communities throughout Texas and into Mexico, and each store is tailored to meet the unique needs of its surrounding community. This attentiveness to community fits right in with Salas O’Brien’s ethos—design for the good of communities—but it requires a dedicated engineering design partner to ensure each store lives up to the company’s vision while maintaining maximum efficiency.
Our solution
The Salas O’Brien team has provided the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering for more than 40 H-E-B stores in Texas. Some of the locations we have served include Magnolia, Spring Cypress, Huntsville, Katy, Bryan, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio.
The results
Our work for H-E-B Grocery has helped the brand live up to its commitment to excellence throughout its stores.
