I think Wally's groceries stink. I'd rather shop at HEB. It's a Texas chain.

Dismuke, I agree about HEB. I love shopping there. I've seen only one north of Dallas about 5 years ago. Maybe in McKinney or Keller? I just remember passing by and thinking "Wow! An HEB in the Dallas area!"
LOL, that's pretty funny!Dismuke said:Hmmmm. The reason that Piggly Wiggly's meat ain't that great is they waited until he was old and sick before they butchered him. By then his meat was tough and foul tasting. I think they ended up turning most of him into sausage and canned dog food.
It was north. In fact I think I was on my way to a ski shop in McKinney. It's possible they've closed up since then, as it was about 5 years ago. I had forgotten about the Waxahachie one. Is it still around? My dad lives out in Red Oak and I vaguely remember him mentioning an HEB there once.Are you sure it was north and not south? The closest ones that I have ever seen are in Cleburne and Waxahachie. I entered in my zip code in the store locater on heb.com and the only other one near the Fort Worth/Dallas area that was listed was in Ennis.
Not that I'm aware of. The one I went into with bad meat was in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. I made my mom stop there on the way to Beaver's Bend because I'd never been inside a Piggly Wiggly before. Even the sealed professionally packaged meat was turning colors.BTW - are there still Piggly Wiggly stores in the area?
Here are the Texas ones. There's one as far south as Stephenville, but most seem to be in the Denton/Sherman area:There used to be one in Lewisville and perhaps even Denton as well several years back. But I don't get up that way often enough to know if they are still there or even how to find the street they were on. Piggly Wigglys tend to be independently owned - sort of like IGAs and Affiliateds.
