All H-E-B stores in the San Antonio area will close early due to inclement wintry weather, company officials announced late Thursday afternoon.
This comes after a mix of freezing rain and sleet brought ice accumulations to South Central Texas. Ice accumulations are still expected throughout Thursday night, making travel hazardous in many areas.
According to a release, H-E-B stores in the SA metro area, Kerrville, Fredericksburg, New Braunfels, Lytle, Seguin, Floresville, Pleasanton, Schertz, Spring Branch, Boerne and La Vernia will close at 6 p.m. Thursday. These stores will open at 8 a.m. Friday.
Central Market H-E-B stores in San Antonio will remain open during normal business hours. However, Central Market stores in the Austin area will close at 6 p.m. Thursday.
As freezing temperatures and wintry mix precipitation continue across the state, H-E-B is assuring customers that it is taking precautions to support its Partners and that it will have additional stock to ensure product availablity despite high demand.
Company officials said any out-of-stocks are temporary.
