As Texas braces for a bout of cold weather, H-E-B is taking measures to keep both customers and employees safe by adjusting store hours across the state. In preparation for incoming icy conditions, the San Antonio-based grocery chain has made the decision to close several of their locations earlier than usual and open later the following morning. KSAT reports that stores in Boerne, Bulverde, Fredericksburg, Kerrville and New Braunfels will shut doors at 8 p.m. on Monday and resume business at 10 a.m. on Tuesday.
Various forms of precipitation including light sprinkles that could turn to sleet or light snow overnight are expected in the area. This inclement weather has prompted the grocery chain to adjust their hours in a preemptive move to ensure public and staff welfare. All other San Antonio-area stores will follow suit, closing at 10 p.m. on Monday and reopening at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, according to the same KSAT announcement.
In Central Texas, the grocery chain's stores, including the store at Wimberley, have their own set of adjusted hours. In a statement observed by KVUE, locations in Kyle, Lockhart, Luling, and San Marcos are set to close at 8 p.m. on Monday, while Wimberley's H-E-B will shutter even earlier at 7 p.m. that day. All these stores aim to reopen at 10 a.m. on Tuesday. The remaining Central Texas stores will keep their regular Monday hours but will not open until 10 a.m. the following day.
H-E-B’s pharmaceutical services, where many Texans turn to for prescriptions and medical supplies, will generally adhere to the same temporary schedule adjustments as the retail locations. Most pharmacy locations will follow the adjusted store hours as reported, but customers are advised to check for specific timings. Likewise, for those relying on the convenience of Curbside and Home Delivery services, H-E-B suggests using their app to review updated availability and potential changes to service hours in light of the weather situation.
As Texans navigate through these frigid days and nights, H-E-B’s actions reflect a consideration for safety that resonates throughout the communities they serve. Full information regarding store hours and service changes can be found detailed through the aforementioned store's official announcements and online platforms.
