H-E-B Returns to Meyerland With Expansive Kosher Selection

(HOUSTON) — H-E-B’s reinvestment in the Meyerland community has gone vertical. H-E-B Meyerland Market, located at 4955 Beechnut, will open Wednesday, January 29th at 6 a.m. Serving as an anchor in the sprawling Meyerland Plaza, the brand new, 95,000 sq.-ft. store replaces the former Braeswood store that closed after enduring significant damage from the floods following Hurricane Harvey. With expanded and covered parking in the two-level garage, equipped with elevators and escalators to ease navigation to and from the car, the new store brings customers an unbeatable mix of freshness and convenience while maintaining H-E-B’s hallmark low prices and catering to the diverse needs of the community.

“We have been a part of the Meyerland community for more than 25 years and are proud to be back with the best of the best for our loyal customer following,” said Hugh Sintic, General Manager, H-E-B Meyerland Market. The 25-year H-E-B veteran added, “This store will offer products from all over the world with a strong emphasis on our Kosher customer. It’s an honor to bring this community the options it deserves.”

KOSHER SELECTION

Due to popular demand, the store is stocked with an expansive selection of certified kosher items produced in-store and approved by our full-time mashgiach. Choose from the store’s kosher coffee and sandwich bar provided by The Roastery, kosher sushi selections, kosher custom cuts from our Fresh Meat Market and our kosher bakery featuring a selection of kosher cakes, breads, bagels and tortillas. There’s more in store and it’s all easy to find, just look for the signs throughout the store.

“This store is a one–stop–shop not only for healthy food choices but also kosher needs,” said Levy Donin, Manager in Charge, 18-year H-E-B Partner and a former leader of the Braeswood location. Prior to joining  H-E-B, Donin supervised the kosher initiatives for a competitor and has been instrumental in expanding H-E-B’s kosher offerings in addition to his store management duties. “This community has gone through so much and it’s a privilege to be a part of its healing and rebuilding.”
