Twitter1 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 They added a elevated post to direct traffic and (maybe) hand out water. Something is going on with the front windows CM has recently started two fruit-infused water fountains. Free to the customer walking in. Hopefully that stays and it's just not a hot summer thing. Exotic water fits Highland Village shopping experience. It's CM's yearly Hatch Fest!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's an H-E-B store in Austin, Texas Also off topic, but I hear that HEB is moving into the Dallas market. On topic, I always thought this central market was on the smaller size compared to the one in Austin. Glad to see it expand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitter1 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Noticed this on Sunday. The brick and bike racks are new. Looks like a 2nd area for shopping carts as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's an H-E-B store in Austin, Texas I've been to this HEB, it's out in East Austin and everything in the area is relatively new. Easily one of the nicest HEB's in Texas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitter1 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Something took a bite out of a corner of CM I've been meaning to take a photo. I'll snap it tomorrow. Adore how you can see the BHP bldg in the background. Also The James River Oaks and Amegy Bank New kitchen equipment went in! (Well, I think the olive bar is new. The sticker also indicates as such?) The smaller items have new, double decker canisters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter1 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I am not. I collect Riedel crystal. The CM Riedel glasses are always limited edition (one time pressing) so they're always a bit special. If I break a glass, I cannot re buy it Crystal is top shelf, the bottom is beer glasses, etc. Really, the Riedel crystal is so thin it's scary to drink out of. Mainly used for display.

Twitter1 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 The entrance is massive! Maybe the structure has risen? It's so high up, and has some type of corrugated steel roof panel. Parking? Did H-E-B buy additional land to expand parking? With a bigger store, comes bigger crowds. There was (forum) talks about H-E-B buying the apartment complex to the left. Well, at least their parking garage. Thought about H-E-B stock. They're the biggest grocer in Texas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't buy stock in H-E-B, but yes, I think they are the biggest grocer in Texas (besides Walmart). H-E-B's stores number about 370, though I don't know if that includes the Mexico stores are not (there are 50). Kroger comes in second with 320 stores in the former SW division (including a handful of stores in Louisiana), while the Albertsons total (scraping together United, Randalls, Tom Thumb, and the legacy Albertsons stores) come out to a bit over 200. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter1 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Sorry guys. I've stopped updating this thread because I feel guilty after drinking a few beers then posting. Feel like I'm PWD (Posting While Drunk) CM made a major milestone in construction this week. OMG I can't handle it. I have like 20 photos to share but don't want to post them all.. I have accumulated construction photos over the past month. Here are some from this weekends! Old Central Market logo was removed. Temp banner as replacement What's in the boxes!?! (Register parts?) New red brick and new register systems New register system "Sky high" ceiling as they were advertising Prairie Pirate Paradise was on tap. Ranks a 95 on BA, which is World Class status. Drank three glasses and decided to leave. Can't flurf where I eat. Update: The next day it was sold out! I only got to have three pours :/ Good stuff for sure.

They had a very extensive beer and wine selection in the pre-renovation CM, but no actual taproom serving beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitter1 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Sexy (behind the scenes) What is that used for!?! Home made chocolate? CM did not spend money on bathroom remodels. I even heard a angry customer saying there wasn't a "baby changing" area. Edit: I have not seen the drawings. I could be wrong..

Twitter1 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) That's it, I'm done. Central Market is amazing!! wow Sorry, no photos. Well, I have about 50 photos from the past few months but don't want to take the time to post them. Bathrooms are starting to be remodeled, or are they just that gross? Hoping the bathrooms get touched up. I'm a honey and maple syrup collector.. CM just started a Greek section. They have like 9 times of Greek honey! I don't see how a single store can have like 30 types of honey. Their chip isle(s)! They have a tortilla chip isle, and then a "flavored" chip isle. Probably a selection of 75 different types of chips? It's just amazing.. the selection you have. That's how you spend money! Gotta have control..

pablog Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I haven't been to central market in a while, but looking forward to seeing it soon. Oh, and to go along with that variety of chips, get some Salsa Maya along the way! I can't put that stuff down, so good ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
