A Grocery Store for Downtown San Antonio

Share On Social!

San Antonio’s downtown is growing. Walking and biking around is easier than ever, and many young people are heading to downtown for the business and night life. However, downtown San Antonio is missing one thing that is keeping it from becoming a pale where young people and families want to live: a grocery store. Would you want to raise your family in a place where you couldn’t buy fresh fruits and vegetables for your kids?

City officials decided recently to solicit proposals from anyone serious about opening a major grocery store downtown, an amenity they think is necessary to revitalize the urban core.

La Fiesta is one food retailer considering a downtown location.

Currently, it looks like HEB might be the lucky food retailer that gets to claim stake to San Antonio’s downtown grocery needs.
