H-E-B Shortens Hours Statewide During Coronavirus Scare

SAN ANGELO, TX – In an effort to better serve their customers, H-E-B stores and affiliates, like Joe V’s and Mi Tienda locations, have decided to modify their store hours. This will allow them to better serve their customers and maintain their shelves stocked in a timely manner.

“As H-E-B focuses on serving Texas, shortened hours allow H-E-B Partners to work diligently overnight to fully prepare the store for customers during the day. Today, all H-E-B stores will implement temporary modified hours. Starting 3/15 stores will be open from 8 am-8 pm,” said the chain in a Facebook post.

The store urges customers to remember that “preparation is important, panic is not necessary.” They encourage their customers to be prepared but reminds them there is no need to overbuy. H-E-B stores are receiving products and items daily. 

“We are in this as a community and it’s important to keep calm. Together, we can do our part to #SlowtheSpreadTexas.”

The chain will also implement a change in services to their delis, bakeries and floral departments for the time being. By modifying the services that are offered in these sections employees can focus on providing customers with the items they need. Customers will not be charged for canceled orders due to department closures.

“While we restock our shelves around the clock, much of our restocking and replenishment happens overnight when our stores are closed. This temporary change in store hours will give our Partners extra time to work diligently overnight to better stock our shelves, allowing us to better serve our customers,” said the chain in a statement.

Changes in hours for the following departments:

H-E-B Pharmacies

Starting Monday, March 16, most H-E-B Pharmacies will operate from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. All stores will follow their normal weekend hours.

Restaurant Operations

Restaurants will be temporarily closed so employees can assist customers in stores. 
H-E-B stores remain open but all True Texas BBQ, Flaming Bird, South Flo Pizza, Table 620, 3009, Oaks Crossing and The Roastery Meyerland location will be closed until further notice. 

In-store operations

Customers may see changes and limited services in bakery, deli, and floral departments, as well as our Showtime and Cooking Connection stations. Partners who are typically employed in these areas will temporarily support the store in customer service as well as H-E-B Curbside pickup and Home Delivery operations.
