HEB reaches out to community with locally sourced products

When the new HEB Supermarket was slated to open in Dripping Springs, TX in the Texas Hill Country, the local community reached out to its management.

“They wanted us to carry locally sourced products,” said manager and wine buyer Frank Chaney (above) who has worked with the company for 11 years.

Today, the brand new store (opened July 23, 2010), carries a wide variety of locally sourced food products: cheese, produce, teas, waters, honey, said Frank when we visited with him. And, of course, wines.

D’Amore is proud to announce that the Duchman Family wines are now offered by HEB as part of their “local wines department.”
