Here Everything's Better

Crossing over the border bridge, back into the US, Joe spotted this store. Not that he wanted to go into it, but that it had his daughter's name--with the same spelling. Ceci-- for you!       CECI'S FASHIONS

Upon closer examination we discovered it to be a shop of very fancy dresses. Needless to say we did not venture into Ceci's Fashions. Thought we'd leave it to the young girls looking for prom dresses, becoming bridesmaids, or having their quincenera celebration.(Becoming of age party - at 15yrs.old.)

The store we frequent, is HEB. This is a fantastic store!

HEB stands for Here Everything's Better--Now. It has been around for 104 yrs.

The chain was started by Charles C. and Florence Butt. The original name being: CC Butt Grocery Store. Howard E. Butt took over the family business, in 1919. His motto being, "He profits most who serves best."

Name change: Howard E. Butt Grocery--HEB---Here Everything's Better

The HEB we shop at has many services, beyond groceries. When entering the store you walk into what looks like a cooking show. There are two chefs creating wonderful soups, meats, sushi, and more. The deli smells delightful, and people are sitting at the counter engaging in wonderful meals. The bakery must be a city block long, with tempting delights abounding. Joe has tried the eclairs and tells me they are delicious. The grocery part of the store goes on and on, entering then into the liquor store, the wine department, the pharmacy, etc. etc. I bought a vegetable chopper there the other day to help me in cutting up veggies for salsa. Hope it works! Dicing those tomatoes, peppers, onions and cilantro is a hand-wrenching task!

If you happen upon Texas, stop and explore HEB.
