January Business of the Month - HEB

HEB was founded in 1905, and since opening its doors, it has remained steadfastly committed

to helping make the lives of hard-working Texans better for almost 120 years. Established

by Florence Thornton Butt in Kerrville, Texas, with a sixty-dollar loan and a prayer, Mrs. C. C.

Butt's Staple and Fancy Grocery was opened on the ground floor of their family home. In 1919,

Howard Edward Butt took over operations, and the company is still overseen by the Butt family

today.

Just 25 years later, the Beeville H-E-B opened on June 15, 1930, and has proudly served this

community for 95 years. The original H-E-B Beeville location was closed in 1996, with the

current location opening on October 4, 1996. Since the opening of the new location, the store has grown significantly, including a pharmacy, business center, and gas station, with its latest edition being the curbside department, which opened on December 28, 2018.

The Beeville H-E-B remains connected to its communities, participating in events like the Martin Luther King Jr. Walk and volunteering with Beeville Independent School District, Skidmore-

Tynan Independent School District, the Beeville Police Department, and local Veteran's groups.

H-E-B continues to grow, with more than 435 stores across Texas and Mexico, employing more

than 160,000 Partners and accumulating more than $43 billion in annual sales. A family business

back then and today, H-E-B strives to fight hunger, provide disaster relief, and honor Texas

educators and our Nation's military. H-E-B firmly supports its motto of Texans helping Texans

because H-E-B's Partners and customers are from here.

The Beeville H-E-B remains a prime example of what H-E-B has always stood for and continues

to stand for, and the H-E-B Partners look forward to serving this community.
