SafeGraph Data tracks grocery store foot traffic through geospatial data. The data is not an exact metric, as SafeGraph only analyzes the data available to it. Visits are defined as a stay at the location lasting longer than four minutes.
The map below shows the total number of visits at each H-E-B location over the past 12 months.
According to the data, the Schertz H-E-B location topped all others, logging 127,954 visits over the past year. That store may see some relief after a new H-E-B location opens in Cibolo. The new location is not expected to open until June 2023.
The second busiest location came on the city’s Southeast Side at the H-E-B located at 3323 Southeast Military Drive.
The top 10 locations with the most visits are listed below.

In all, there are 46 H-E-B locations in the San Antonio area. The beloved grocery store chain averages more than 150,000 visits each month, according to Safegraph Data.
H-E-B plans to keep up its dominant presence in the area, looking at new locations to expand. Earlier this year, the grocery chain announced plans for a new expanded location in New Braunfels that will include a wine tasting section and a barbecue restaurant.
