Potential far north Fort Worth H-E-B takes a step closer to reality
The city of Fort Worth’s zoning commission gave H-E-B its blessing to rezone company-owned land at 648 E. Bonds Ranch Road.
Representatives for the San Antonio-based retailer told the zoning commission at its May 13 meeting that the move was merely a “clean up case” to make the land use rules match a neighboring property.
However, the company’s zoning change application said the move was for “the intent of a retail use,” according to its filing with the city.
The five-acre parcel is on the southeast corner of East Bonds Ranch Road and U.S. 287, directly across from a Kroger Marketplace that opened in October 2025.
It sits next to a 17.5 acre parcel H-E-B bought in 2015, but has so far not developed.
H-E-B spokesperson Mabrie Jackson said in an email to the Star-Telegram that there was nothing new to report about the property since the zoning application first became public in April.
The Bonds Ranch property sits roughly 3 miles northwest of Fort Worth’s first H-E-B, which opened on Heritage Trace Parkway in April 2024.
The company is building its second Fort Worth H-E-B store in Walsh just over the Parker County line, and opened its Mid-Cities store May 20.
The company has been operating in Fort Worth since 2001 when it opened its Central Market store at 4651 West Freeway across from Arlington Heights High School.
The Fort Worth City Council will still have to sign off on the zoning change. The earliest the council could take up the case would be its 6 p.m. meeting on June 9th at Fort Worth City Hall.
