To accommodate the growth and expansion of the company, H-E-B has called up Temple Warehouse for the latter’s space according to a Storebrands article from June 29 which reports, 

“Texas-based grocer H-E-B is expanding its distribution facility in Temple, Tex. to include a new automated frozen distribution line. 

Pending a final agreement, the expansion will add over 100 jobs and expand the facility by 325,000 square-feet. The project is expected to be completed in 2024. The Temple distribution center supports over 100 H-E-B stores, providing them with H-E-B’s private brand products.

H-E-B topped a recent dunnhumby e-commerce report that found the chain’s e-commerce business to be the most desirable according to consumers, topping Amazon and Amazon Fresh.”

Both H-E-B and Temple Warehouse are delighted with their partnership as they aim to aid one another through diligence and efforts according to a Supermarket News article from June 30. They say, 

“As H-E-B grows into new markets across Texas, expansion of our Temple facilities supports our commitment to be the best retailer in Texas,” Chad Madison, group vice president of H-E-B warehousing, said in a statement.

“It is our privilege to continue to work with H-E-B as they grow their presence in Temple, Texas,” Temple EDC President and CEO Adrian Cannady stated. “H-E-B has seen many cycles of growth and expansion throughout their time in Temple, and we are proud of the opportunities they continue to bring to our region. This expansion project, paired with Temple’s strategic location and immediate access to I-35, will work to strengthen H-E-B’s operations in Texas.”

“We are thrilled that H-E-B has chosen to expand its footprint in our city and look forward to the new opportunities that will be available to our community,” commented Erin Smith, assistant city manager of Temple.”
