Will H-E-B become neighbors with White Castle? Land in southwest Fort Worth owned by the San Antonio-based grocery giant could be the site of a new development as construction ramps up for the Shops at Chisholm Trail Ranch retail center. H-E-B — which has opened three grocery stores in Tarrant Count
Key takeaway H-E-B — which has opened three grocery stores in Tarrant County since 2024 — plans to develop a tract at 5501 Crescent Hill Lane, according to an urban forestry permit filed Tuesday with the city of Fort Worth.
Why this matters in The Fort Worth
The potential development of the Chisholm Trail site by H-E-B raises questions about the grocery giant's plans for expansion in Tarrant County. With three stores already opened in the county since 2024, H-E-B's move to develop land near the Shops at Chisholm Trail Ranch retail center could signal a deeper investment in the local market. The company's strategy of buying large parcels and selling off smaller tracts for other developments may lead to a mix of retail and dining options in the area, complementing the upcoming White Castle restaurant. As the city of Fort Worth continues to grow, the development of this site could have implications for traffic and infrastructure along the Chisholm Trail Parkway, particularly during severe weather events that are common in North Texas. Residents in southwest Fort Worth will be watching to see how this project unfolds and how it will impact their community.
