I lived in Corpus Christi in the early 70s and H. E. Butt dominated the politics of the place with some sort of tie-in to the Southern Baptists. The company did not sell alcohol but had another chain that did. It was my understanding that part of the promotion involved some sort of operating tie-in with the Baptists. Where is this other chain even mentioned in the article? The present article looks like a PR hand out from the company. I came to this article looking for information and all I found was advertising. Very little space is devoted to the history of the company - in fact it jumps from the founder to recent times - right over the very man who the chain is named after. There is no biography about H. E. Butt on Wikipedia. This article needs attention. 70.247.125.205 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:49, 6 August 2009 (UTC).
in the HEB Mexico section, it states that 26.7% of 2006 revenue came from HEB Mexico operations. This is clearly a mistake on the part of Supermarket News, as in 2005 that figure was only 5%... I could believe 6.7%, but 26.7% is out of the question as only about 20 stores operate in Mexico, with the remaining 280+ operating throughout Texas. few (if any) stores were added to the HEB Mexico division, making this figure impossible. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Topofthemarc ( talk • contribs) 21:01, 5 March 2007 (UTC).
It would be nice if someone (who enjoys research and writing more than I do) were to add a section about HEB's Kosher Store, the first kosher fresh meat market in Austin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gilmer ( talk • contribs) 03:55, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to make some improvements to this article, but I think the page needs a significant overhaul that will likely require the input of some other editors. I'm posting a note here, because H-E-B is a client of my employer, so others should be aware that I have a possible conflict of interest. I will closely follow WP:NOR, WP:SPAM, WP:NOT as well as WP:COI, and I want to let be known that my main goal is to make this article more accurate and informative, while cutting out the information that may not be appropriate for Wikipedia. I would like to make some uncontroversial edits, that I will make sure to explain thoroughly - I will likely be toning down NPOV language, removing inaccurate and unsourced information, and adding some sources to the article to cite some unverified info; however, there are other larger edits that I wanted to discuss with the community as we work to make the H-E-B article more encyclopedic. If you have any questions or concerns about the article, or my work in general, just let me know. Thanks, Nanorlb ( talk) 23:18, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Of course it's substantial. Except for super wal-mart... there are no large grocery stores to speak of in San Antonio. And super wal-mart is not exactly competition... it pales in comparison to a real supermarket (like HEB). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.25.89.65 ( talk) 02:17, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
H-E-B now legally goes by HEB Grocery Company, LP. Not sure it makes sense to cite the name change on the page, so I wanted to make the explanation here. Here are some recent examples of the use of the correct legal name:
Any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thanks, Nanorlb ( talk) 15:47, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Wanted to present a question to the editorial community - what steps can be taken to remove the neutrality tag from the top of the H-E-B article? I would love to continue working to move the article into a more neutral, more accurate and complete place. What can we remove? What NPOV language can we tone down? Interested to hear everyone's thoughts. Nanorlb ( talk) 16:10, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that under the topic "Litigation," none of the reference citation links (39-41) are active. I tried to search for the articles on the "MySanAntonio.com" website where they were originally located, as well as a web search engine, but could not find them. Normally, I would suggest removing the reference(s) and/or consider removing the text associated with the reference, but considering none of the references can be found that would mean removing the entire topic "Litigation." I certainly didn't want to do that without bringing it to everyone's attention. Suggestions? Cpuaggie ( talk) 21:55, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

This article reads like it was written by either HEB PR or someone closely associated with HEB. In addition parts read as lists and include info that has little to no value .
Finally a lot of cited material links to same newspaper writer. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something to point out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caffeyw ( talk • contribs) 13:28, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
The company is alternately listed as 'HEB Grocery Company, LP' and 'H-E-B Grocery Company, LP' at the top-left and top-right of the page, though both are no longer correct. The company changed its name to 'H-E-B, LP' on July 18, 2018, so the correct name needs to be updated throughout. Also, the subsidiaries listed under the 'Operations' section don't match with 'Subsidiaries' listed on the sidebar. The full list of subsidiaries is Central Market, Favor Delivery, Joe V's Smart Shop, Mi Tienda, which are 'H-E-B doing business as' and not separate entities. AnyWing Goes, Main Streat Food Hall, South Flo Pizza, True Texas BBQ are not subsidiaries but restaurants owned and run by H-E-B, LP. Sboston5 ( talk) 21:08, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
