When there are 11 people in your house you might understand.

HEB does some interesting things that the Feds do not see, since they are a small player in the grocery market. We studied them at TAMU.

They will pinch a penny out of small suppliers better than Wally World.

DFW does need HEB. They would clobber Kroger. I just do not know if they can get the stock to get into DFW heavily.

HEB Partner here....I echo that Scott is a nice guy. I've met him once, in a hallway at a regional office. He took time to stop and chat with me.
I met Charles once after the Bastrop fires. You wanna talk about a nice guy? Charles fits that and his pic may be in the dictionary under nice guy.
I've worked for HEB for 20 years and couldn't imagine working elsewhere.
HEB did implement Texas Proud Pay in the form of $2/hr for all hourly store and warehouse employees, which was temporary. After it ended, those same hourly employees got very nice raises although it likely wasn't $2/hr. The raises were the largest in company history.
I wasn't affected by the extra during the pandemic nor the raises this week.
Lubbock is set for this fall and I wish I could say DFW is about to happen but I'm not kept in that circle! I do know that Hudson Oaks has been a success.

I grew up in HEB country..I miss them so bad. Closest thing I have is Central Market and it isn't the same...still go to HEB every time we go home to my wife's parents.
