It may not seem like much, but I think this new store is an important experiment for HEB. and if it's successful could lead to small format urban stores in other cities. Combined with the new two-story HEB on Nogalitos, it seems like HEB is moving away from the typical big-box format (where appropriate).

I agree. The small format Lincoln Heights HEB is way more fun to shop than a large HEB plus.
