Austin’s newest HEB grocery concept is opening this week in Westlake.

The 65,000-square-foot store at 701 S. Capital of Texas Highway will offer innovative services and products to fit in with its neighborhood, such as curbside grocery loading and in-home fresh floral service. The store opening this Friday is one of five Albertson’s locations HEB purchased last year. The company reopened the first two locations in Central Austin and Round Rock in December.

Westlake Market HEB will include Central Market’s Café on the Run with take-home prepared foods, a Gourmet Coffee Bar, and a Sushiya sushi bar among other features.

“After years of receiving requests and personal calls to serve Westlake, we’re excited to finally be able to respond,” says Jeff Thomas, HEB senior vice president for Central Texas. “It’s been a long time coming, but we’re sure customers will agree it was worth the wait.”
