Best Voluntary Compliance With SOS

HEB Brodie

When HEB started clearing the corner of Brodie & William Cannon, we wondered, "Will the trees still be standing?" HEB did one better. They complied with SOS instead of seeking variances. The 60-acre site, built with recycled materials, is landscaped with native plants and includes a rainwater collection system. This hasn't encroached on their service or convenience one bit: They have a drive-through pharmacy and close parking for shoppers with children. In the store they added compact shopping baskets for those who aren't shopping for a large family. The store is open 24 hours and replaces the Westgate location.
