The news this week is the Grand Opening of HEB's Sugar Land Market store, located at Texas Highway 6 and US-90A on what used to be a Texas Department of Corrections prison farm. Part of the of Sugar Land Central Unit, it was made "famous" in the movie Sugar Land Express with Goldie Hawn, William Atherton and Ben Johnson, a 1974 film directed by a Hollywood newbie, UCLA film grad and Eagle Scout Steven Spielberg - his first big screen film.
This H-E-B store is - in a word - HUGGGGGE!!! I usually shop at the Sugar Land River Park store and the Rosenberg Kroger Marketplace. I even make my way to the Houston Buffalo Market store (which is larger than HEB-RP). This place is even bigger. If you remember the old Auchan Market on the Tollway - it's about that big (or so it seems). Without checking the floor plans right now, it's probably the size of any of Kroger's new Marketplace stores in Rosenberg, Pearland, Sugar Land, and Conroe
I was there yesterday to be part of the grand opening hooplah (since I was at River Park's opening day) and I'm sure the turnout did not disappoint HEB area President Scott McClelland (who was also there).
I had to wonder ... where did all these people used to buy groceries? Or did everyone run out of food at the same time?
Okay - there were some great prices, lots of tastings, give-away's, giant ice cream and Coke cans, and all kinds of characters in costumes to draw in crowds. But even at 7:30pm, the store was cart-to-cart, shopping list to reusable bag, jam (and jelly) packed.
It's going to make my weekly shopping even more fun!
