McKinney’s First H-E-B Was Built at This Location

San Antonio-based H-E-B celebrated the opening of its first McKinney store in 2023. This popular supermarket chain had recently launched its first two DFW stores in Frisco and Plano, both located in Collin County. The McKinney store became the third H-E-B location within the county.

The chosen site is on the northeast corner of Eldorado Parkway and Custer Road, a location that divides Frisco from McKinney. This marked the first major development on this site, situated next to Rowlett Creek.
