H-E-B to Close Spicewood Springs Store in Northwest Austin

The company says the July 31 lease end is part of a store-network review that will move shoppers and services into larger, renovated nearby locations.

The H-E-B at Research Boulevard and Spicewood Springs Road will close July 31 after its lease expires. The company said it invested in nearby stores recently to serve customers instead.

Overview

  • H-E-B announced Thursday that its Spicewood Springs store at 12860 Research Blvd. will stop operating on July 31 when the lease expires.
  • The chain says the early-1980s building is smaller and outdated and the closure is part of an ongoing review of its store network and long-term growth plans.
  • Employees affected by the closure will be offered jobs at nearby H-E-B locations and pharmacy customers can transfer prescriptions to other stores.
  • To ease the change for shoppers, H-E-B will provide free curbside pickup and home delivery throughout August and points customers to modernized nearby stores for in-person shopping.
  • The company pledged $40,000 to local schools, the Spicewood Springs library, and Fire Station #44, and the move reflects H-E-B’s broader push to consolidate services into larger renovated stores across Central Texas, which could change local shopping patterns and access to neighborhood grocery services.
