H-E-B has secured a major local incentive package to support a planned $635 million expansion of its Super Regional Center in Bexar County. The complex is located near Foster Road and East Houston Street, where the grocer has been steadily building out a large-scale logistics and production campus to serve its regional store network.
As part of the latest expansion plan, Bexar County commissioners voted to approve an agreement that will lower H-E-B’s county property-tax bill by more than $15 million over the ten-year term of the deal. Local officials backing the measure described the incentive as a tool to promote long-term industrial investment and employment growth on the East Side, according to reporting from the San Antonio Business Journal.
H-E-B’s presence at the site has grown over several years. The company completed a 1.6-million-square-foot regional warehouse there in 2018, establishing the core of the Super Regional Center. In 2024, H-E-B added another plant on the campus, further consolidating its distribution and production footprint in Bexar County.
The new expansion phase is expected to deepen that concentration. H-E-B has indicated that the project will add a bakery plant, a refrigerated warehouse and a returned-goods center to the campus. These facilities would enhance the grocer’s ability to handle perishable products, manage reverse logistics and support in-house food manufacturing, while leveraging the existing distribution platform already in place at the site.
The Super Regional Center is already a significant employment base. H-E-B reports that the complex currently supports about 1,400 workers. With the tax abatement agreement in place, the planned expansion could add approximately 720 new jobs, underscoring the scale of the company’s logistics and industrial operations in the county.
County leaders who supported the incentive framed the decision as a strategic move to attract and retain industrial users on Bexar County’s East Side over the long term. By tying the property-tax reduction to a ten-year agreement, the county is aiming to lock in capital investment and job creation tied directly to H-E-B’s warehouse, production and returns-processing functions at the Super Regional Center.
The combination of existing infrastructure, newly added facilities and the latest expansion plan positions the campus as a key logistics and manufacturing hub within H-E-B’s broader supply chain. The approved tax relief is intended to reinforce that role while signaling the county’s willingness to support large-scale industrial projects that commit to sustained employment and capital deployment in the area.
