And when 6 a.m. arrived, a crush of people filed into the store, where they were met with gift baskets and a marching band., at the intersection of Spring Creek Parkway.
The 118,000-square-foot store will feature a full-service pharmacy, a barbecue restaurant and curbside and home delivery. H-E-B also on Monday announced that customers can begin scheduling curbside pickup orders at the Plano store at 1 a.m. on Oct. 31.
