H-E-B has opened the doors to its first multi-level grocery store in the Houston area. Located on Bissonnet Street in Bellaire, it spans 78,000 square feet and is twice the size of the former H-E-B that used to sit at the same address. 

Dubbed H-E-B Bellaire Market, the new two-story store joins similar stores in San Antonio and Mexico. According to the Houston Chronicle, the store features artwork along the escalator by Texan artist Ansen Seale that's made from acrylic, LED lights and aluminum, which changes colors as you ride up or down.

The new location has eight reviews on Yelp thus far, which give it a four-star rating, indicating that it's off to a strong start with the locals.

Wendy W., who was the first Yelper to review the new store on June 27, wrote, "H-E-B has finally opened its new Bellaire grocery store. This is their first mega multi-leveled grocery store in the Houston area. There is plenty of garage parking — over 300 spots — two escalators and cart escalators. Find all your grocery shopping needs here."

Julianne D. added, "I'm so thrilled H-E-B is back in the area! It's also lovely to have your car parked in the shade while you shop, not to mention you won't get wet during Houston spur-of-the-moment downpours!"

Head on over to check it out: the new H-E-B is open from 6 a.m.–11 p.m. daily.
