San Benito, TX has a small HEB supermarket. No meat counter, no fish
counter but otherwise a decent store. A few years back they put a Super
WalMart across the street and everyone said it would be the death of HEB.

HEB just announced that they will be building a brand new, larger store
to replace the one they have in San Benito.

Moral of the story is that people still value quality, especially in
their food.
