I moved from Lufkin 2 years ago after having lived there for 3 1/2 years. When we moved there, I was delighted to find an HEB as the city we'd moved from (Bastrop) had an excellent mid-size store at that time. We now live in Kerrville (yes, where HEB began) and shop at the smaller of the two HEBs here. I wish Lufkin could/would revamp its store in the image of the small one here as I believe they are close to the same size. Ours is immaculately clean, the employees are super friendly, and there's plenty of room (except when restocking occurs). It has a more than adequate supply of organic foods and produce as well as Central Market items. My memories of Lufkin's store are of crowding, bits of produce on the floor, poor arrangement of the frozen food section and an oversized area of bulk meats which are great for huge families but not for others. I eventually switched to Brookshire Brothers even though they were more expensive. I felt disloyal -- but shopping in a roomier, cleaner and friendlier store was worth the extra pennies. I know many people in Lufkin keep hoping for a bigger, better HEB. They deserve it!!!
