## Story

These efforts will complement existing operations and support the company’s growing supply chain operations across the region and state. H-E-B

H-E-B is announcing plans to invest $700 million to expand its supply chain operations, a project that is expected to create 720 jobs by 2028 and more than 1,200 new full-time jobs over the next decade.

While not yet finalized, the retailer has identified its Foster Road campus on San Antonio’s East Side as a potential location for the expansion. For the project, preliminary plans include construction of a state-of-the-art bakery, refrigerated warehouse, transportation building and additional facilities as well as an expansion of its existing manufacturing plant. These efforts will complement existing operations and support the company’s growing supply chain operations across the region and state.

The project will be the company’s largest investment in its manufacturing and supply-chain division and, if the retailer moves forward with developing its plans at the Foster Road location, it will be among the largest industrial investments in the San Antonio area.

“We look forward to advancing our plans to grow our supply chain operations …,” said Carson Landsgard, H-E-B chief supply chain officer. “While we are still developing our plans, this will be a major investment for H-E-B that will create jobs and better position us to serve even more Texans.”

Although the project is still in planning stages, construction could start later this year with facilities expected to come online as early as 2028.

To support its supply chain operations, H-E-B purchased the Foster Road property, which is more than 870 acres, in 2018. Since then, the retailer has invested more than $445 million at the site, which includes the addition of a more than 2 million-square-foot warehouse and manufacturing plant, facilities already in operation. Currently, H-E-B employs nearly 1,400 H-E-B Partners at the campus. If plans move forward at the Foster Road site, the workforce there will grow to more than 2,600 partners and investment at the location will total well over $1 billion.
