HEB homes in on growth with new decor departments

Inside the sprawling HEB plus! store at US 281 and Evans Road, customers browse colorful throw pillows, rugs, vases, frames, chairs, ottomans, doormats and bundles of dried lavender.

Mirrors and wall hangings are displayed near table linens, lamps and plant holders below a sign that reads: “Welcome to your happy place.”

The new department, dubbed Home by HEB, is one of the San Antonio-based grocer’s latest moves to grow its business. While adding store locations — which it’s doing as it pushes into the Dallas-Fort Worth area — is a key avenue to growth, in mature markets like San Antonio, growth can require something new.

“Integrating higher-margin categories like home into the mix allows HEB to plump up profits without stepping too far out” of its geographic footprint, said Carol Spieckerman, president of retail advisory firm Spieckerman Retail, based in Bentonville, Ark. “Retailers like Walmart and Target use grocery

Home Depot vs. Lowe’s: Battle Of The Home Improvement Chains

This article was coproduced with Mark Roussin.

Now things are beginning to soften – though notice I didn’t say “decline” or “weaken.” Only “soften.”

That might sound surprising considering our current situation, with red-hot inflation, weakening job stats, and what looks like an oncoming recession. And indeed, buyers are becoming more hesitant to sign on the dotted line.
