Texas grocery retailer H-E-B has announced the opening of its third new store in 2023, located on the former site of the Nutty Brown Café & Amphitheater at Country Road 163 and US Highway 290.
H-E-B submitted plans to build the 103,000-square-foot store in March 2021, having purchased the 65-acre property in 2015. After a year of construction, the Nutty Brown H-E-B store is scheduled to finally open on July 5.
The Nutty Brown Café & Amphitheater closed its Dripping Springs location in 2021 in favor of a new Round Rock location. Taking over the vacated land, the new H-E-B store was designed to commemorate its predecessor with iconography and memorabilia from the iconic music venue, including signed guitars from legendary Texas musicians.
According to an H-EB press release, the store incorporated building materials from the original site, such as the red brick from the oven used at Nutty Brown Foods. There is also a tribute wall inspired by the amphitheater's original signage, such as the blue 'Welcome' awning and the neon Cowboy sign.
The new location will include services such as H-E-B Curbside and home delivery, a pharmacy with a drive-thru, a full-service bakery and more.
The Nutty Brown HE- B store is currently hiring. Those interested can go online to search for specific job openings and information at careers.heb.com.
