Still not following you. HEB is awesome. What "real supermarkets" do you prefer instead?
Publix, Hy-Vee, even Albertsons and Kroger count.

Post COVID, curbside is everywhere. I don't get your point. People love the quality, variety, and price of HEB. That doesn't mean they have to walk the aisles and hug the products.


Post-COVID everything is 40% more expensive and more limited hours. I don't follow you. If price is the only thing that matters, go to Walmart. And H-E-B doesn't much variety beyond their store brand and maybe one or two other brands at best.

I'll just let Kermit speak for me on that one.



Never been in a Publix or HyVee, but Kroger and Albertsons(when's the last time anyone's even seen an Albertsons?) are overpriced, dirty, poorly lit, and just awful experiences, even the nice ones are dumps compared to HEB.

Back in the day I would walk to the Pig on Longmire. The Pig and K Mart both in the same center.

Went after church on Sunday….. haven't been in several years. Night and Day difference. Food/ service were really good. Weren't many people there. Hopefully they can recover from the old stigma. Believe they're about to rename/ rebrand to "Katrina's"

No, but I noticed this morning they had the lowest health department score on the report that KBTX published.

Church's Chicken had their permit suspended, so second lowest.

I missed that. Guess I was just looking at numbers. They had the lowest passing score.

I'm sure I've seen it somewhere, but looking back I cannot find it - what is being built up behind Cooper's BBQ off the feeder road in CS? It looks like a big box store of some sort.

I was told that it was a church in the back and a flooring store is also being built next to CarMax.

That ain't far from the A&M Church of Christ. That's an interesting location.

I'm Catholic, but know several Church of Christ folks in town and am a theology nerd...
There are Church of Christ Churches and then there are very strict Church of Christ Churches. These two are not close on that spectrum.

I grew up in one. It was different than some of the others in our town so I'm familiar.

I didn't know these two were not that similar.

Is A&M Church of Christ the CoC that is being built out on HWY 30? There's a large new one being built out there.
