As Texas braces for Winter Storm Enzo, H-E-B has announced adjusted operating hours across the state, prioritizing the safety of their staff and customers. According to KHOU, the retailer plans to modify hours in Houston and other affected areas, with stores scheduled to close early this evening and reopen tomorrow morning.
Forecasts predict that the Houston area could see upwards of 8 inches of snow, prompting local officials to urge residents to remain off the roads when conditions deteriorate. In an effort to prepare for the inclement weather, H-E-B is working actively to restock shelves. "In preparation of the winter weather, we are taking precautions to protect and support our Partners and our stores," H-E-B wrote in a statement obtained by Chron. "Our dedicated Partners are ready to serve our customers with the products they need."
H-E-B's Greater Houston area stores, including Central Market, Joe V's Smart Shop, and Mi Tienda locations, will close at 10 p.m. today and are scheduled to reopen at 10 a.m. tomorrow. The company has advised their customers to check the H-E-B app for any updates on curbside and home delivery services.
Additional areas are to also feel the impacts of the winter storm, and H-E-B has decisively planned accordingly. The San Antonio area, Gulf Coast, Central Texas, and the Border area will see similar adjustments. "Most H-E-B Pharmacy locations will follow the same adjusted hours as its stores," H-E-B’s official statement detailed, indicating that other facets of their operations are to align with the broader store hour changes, as noted by Chron. Not all locations will be affected equally, with stores like those in Wimberley closing at 7 p.m. and reopening at 10 a.m., while others like Laredo maintain regular hours.
