"It's rare that a grocery store is among the things that people love about their home state, but H-E-B holds that place for many Texans. While the thought of all things Texas may bring to mind things like barbecue and Tex-Mex cuisine, H-E-B is another major Texan institution, and one that has a huge following. Being one of the oldest grocery stores in the United States, it's still going strong, and its customer base is as loud as they are loyal."
"This stems from the fact that H-E-B continues to offer quality and variety, as well as a huge range of proudly homegrown brands. The fact that H-E-B also has a reputation for supporting its community is the cherry on top. Between offering disaster relief following hurricanes and historic flooding, as well as extra pay and benefits to employees during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, H-E-B is one of America's superior grocery chains."
"If there's one product that defines H-E-B, it's the chain's freshly baked, handmade butter tortillas. It's the answer many Texans give when asked about their favorite H-E-B product, and for good reason. H-E-B bakes it tortillas, including regular flour or corn ones, in-house, with one Facebook user saying you can smell them as soon as you walk in the store. Sometimes, if you've come in at the right time, they could even still be warm."
