The HEB opening!

Last night we went to the little shebang for Somara’s new HEB Plus in Round Rock. I should’ve starved up more, I was so overstuffed with the free samples of food they offered. I also couldn’t drink all the free beer I was allowed to get.

This store is huge! It took me a while to find the groceries since it’s practically a Super Target with all the other items they’re selling (furniture, electronics and huge pallets of one-time only junk). Somara says this is an experiment. Well, I hope it goes well because I think it could be them overextended themselves.

The celebration was a large “to do” too. They had Asleep at the Wheel playing in the parking lot (if you’re into Bob Wills and the Texas playboys and/or Country Swing, you know who they are). Sadly, photographs weren’t allowed.

Tomorrow is the opening day. They are expecting it to be crazy. Somara has to park at the baseball diamond and then be shuttled over by bus until next week.

Hopefully she’ll have pictures in the near future.

Send her an e-mail and congratulate her on her new career. I think she’ll be moving up the HEB foodchain pretty quickly.
