SAN ANTONIO — H‑E‑B has begun a comprehensive remodel and expansion of its 83 & Lincoln store in Harlingen, featuring major upgrades that will modernize, refresh, and expand services for shoppers. This large-scale project reflects a significant investment in the community and reaffirms H‑E‑B’s longstanding dedication to the Rio Grande Valley.
Located at 613 S. Expressway 83, the store has proudly served Harlingen customers since 1990. As part of this remodel, every department will be expanded, increasing the total size to nearly 112,000 square feet once finished. Renovations are already in progress and should be complete by early 2027.
Major upgrades will include:
- Expanded departments across the store
- A larger and more diverse product assortment
- A refreshed and modernized exterior
- An expanded H‑E‑B Curbside area with additional dedicated parking
- The addition of Flaming Bird Restaurant, offering customers fresh, bold, and convenient hot‑food options
- H‑E‑B Wellness Primary Care, providing accessible, high‑quality health and wellness services in‑store

“We’re excited to be investing in the future of this store to create an even better shopping experience that this community can be proud of for years to come,” said Efren Matamoros, the store’s Top Store Leader. “This transformation will take time, but the result will be a fresh, welcoming store built with our customers and community at heart.”
Throughout the renovation, the store will stay fully operational, continuing to offer customers the high-quality service and products they expect from H‑E‑B.
Additional updates will be shared as the project progresses.
