Ah, H-E-B. The holy land of Texas grocery shopping. A place where breakfast tacos meet gourmet cheese and cowboy boots strut down pristine aisles. But with all this Texan bounty, a burning question plagues the minds of Austinites: just how many H-E-Bs are there in the greater area?

According to reliable sources (aka the internet, which never lies), there are approximately 26 H-E-Bs gracing the Austin area with their presence. That's a whole lotta H-E-B love to go around! But wait, there's more! H-E-B, ever the innovator, offers a variety of store formats, from the classic H-E-B to the swanky H-E-B Plus!, each catering to your specific grocery desires (and maybe your caffeine needs with those epic coffee stations).

Here's a little breakdown to satisfy your inner grocery store sleuth:
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
