H-E-B plans to open a store in Rockwall next year, and the Murphy location is strategically between it and H-E-B stores that have opened in Allen and McKinney, Jackson said. X: @MariaHalkias.

H-E-B opened its first store in Georgetown at 600 W. University in 1966. That 21,000-square-foot store remained in business until 1989. H-E-B currently operates two stores in Georgetown.
