South Dallas is buzzing with excitement as H-E-B opens its first Joe V’s Smart Shop at Highway 67 and Wheatland Road, marking a significant milestone for the community. The ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday drew local leaders and residents, celebrating the arrival of a much-needed grocery store in an area long designated as a food desert by the USDA.
Joyce Marie Barnes, a nearby resident, expressed her enthusiasm, highlighting the newfound convenience for locals who previously had to travel far for groceries. Joe V’s Smart Shop, known for offering H-E-B’s lowest prices, aims to attract customers from a 20-mile radius, promising affordability that resonates beyond South Dallas.
Roxanne Orsak, H-E-B’s Chief Operating Officer, emphasized the store’s potential to transform the local economy, drawing optimism from neighboring businesses like Charles Battle’s barbershop next door. Battle predicts a surge in foot traffic that could benefit the entire community.
