Got Milk? Demolition Of Bellaire H-E-B To Begin On March 17

You'll have to do without the H-E-B at 5130 Cedar for a while, because the building that houses it now is scheduled to be razed beginning on March 17. But have no fear, because a two-story, 75,000-square-foot behemoth of a grocery emporium will take its place, complete with a drive-thru pharmacy.

The new store will feature 230 parking spaces on the ground level, while the upper level will accommodate 82 vehicles, according to Bellaire Connect.

When construction is finished — likely in fall 2017 — Bellaire will have the sole two-story H-E-B in the Houston area. The ground floor will be dominated by parking spots, while the bulk of the actual grocery offerings will reside on the upper level.

The current building opened in 1994.
