H-E-B says it will close its South Austin store on Oltorf Street and Congress Avenue next year, and build a brand new one on the same site. The store will close sometime later next year, .
The chain has operated at the South Austin site since 1957. The now roughly 70,000-square-foot location will be torn down next year and construction on the new, 100,000-square-foot store is expected to start in late 2020. Once construction starts, the project should be completed within two years, H-E-B says.
H-E-B will open a temporary store at the Twin Oaks Shopping Center on the other side of Congress Avenue and Oltorf.
The grocer says the new location will have a food court, a two-level underground parking garage, murals and art installations, and a beer garden.
