The odyssey continues.

The land was once eyed as a new Missions stadium spot.

Construction is set to begin in the spring.

Students now have an answer for when the cravings hit.

H-E-B is a staple of daily life in South Texas. Even as the company pushes north, there are still some towns in the San Antonio area wondering when their town will get a store of their own. For Cibolo, the wait is over.

After a year of construction, H-E-B’s first Cibolo store will open on Wednesday, January 25 at 6 a.m. with almost everything an H-E-B lover could want. But before the official opening, Cibolo held a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, January 24, giving MySA a sneak peek at the new store.

Cibolo Mayor Mark Allen spoke at the ribbon-cutting event on Tuesday morning. He’s been on the city council since 2018 and he talked about one of the biggest concerns he’s heard since he took office.

“When is H-E-B coming to Cibolo? Well, today we have the answer to that question,” Allen said. “We know that H-E-B has owned this beautiful piece of property [that] is strategically located here at FM 1103 and Main Street in Cibolo for many years. We’ve anxiously awaited the construction and eventual opening of this beautiful new H-E-B. We couldn’t be more pleased that H-E-B has chosen its new home right here in Cibolo.”

The population of Cibolo, which is south of I-35 and between San Antonio and New Braunfels, more than doubled over the last decade, clocking in at 33,475 on April 1, 2020, and up from 15,349 on April 1, 2010,…

It’s already controversial among lawmakers.

No more driving to another city for those H-E-B goodies.
