H-E-B plans to hire 700 for its McKinney store

H-E-B will start hiring for its McKinney store on Tuesday and said it’s planning to make offers to 700 people by the time the store opens this summer.

The San Antonio-based grocer has not given an exact opening date for the store that will have a True Texas BBQ restaurant and all the traditional departments such as bakery, deli, seafood and catering.

Another H-E-B store started construction around the same time in Allen in early 2022, but it appears the McKinney store is on track to open first.

The McKinney hiring event is Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Collin College Conference Center, 2400 Community Ave., McKinney.

The McKinney store is on the northeast corner of Custer Road and Eldorado Parkway.

Most jobs have a starting pay of $15 an hour and include a 10 percent discount on H-E-B products, a partner stock plan and a 401k with a 4 percent company match. Other benefits include paid time off and health, vision and dental plans.

The retailer asks job seekers to fill out an application online at careers.heb.com. That material can also be accessed by texting “HEB794″ to 81931.

Two more stores are under construction for openings in 2024 in Tarrant County’s Alliance area and in Mansfield.

H-E-B has started plans for a second store in Frisco. The first one in Frisco opened in September. A Plano H-E-B opened in November.

The retailer already owns dozens of parcels around Dallas-Fort Worth. It recently purchased land in Celina and Prosper.

H-E-B said in March 2021 that it planned to start its long-anticipated expansion into the D-FW area after operating stores south and west of Dallas and Fort Worth for several years. H-E-B is in the process of expanding its store in Waxahachie. Tom Thumb is planning a new store in Waxahachie.
