The new temporary HEB on South Congress is open, and we went on a shopping mission inside

The H-E-B store on the southwest corner of Oltorf Street and South Congress Avenue has had some pretty slim pickings lately. All part of the plan.
The Texas grocery giant announced last year that it would temporarily shutter — well, demolish — that location, which opened in 1957, ahead of a planned remodel. When the news broke, H-E-B representatives said the company would open a temporary store in the adjacent Twin Oaks shopping center in early 2022, right before the big kaboom down the road. Construction is slated for this month, though a representative for H-E-B did not provide an exact date. That project at the previous store site is expected to last two years.
The time has come, and there's now an H-E-B open steps away from the old store, just north of Oltorf Street. The new location is at 2301 S. Congress Ave., formerly home to a CVS Pharmacy. It first welcomed customers on Jan. 26.
