🎉 Celebrating 100 Years of H-E-B in Del Rio! 🎉

In celebration of this incredible milestone, we created this timeline highlighting 100 Years of H-E-B in Del Rio and the important role H-E-B has played in our community over the past century.

A special thank you to H-E-B for inviting the Whitehead Memorial Museum to be part of this historic celebration by allowing us to share displays at both H-E-B locations in Del Rio. We are honored to help tell the story of H-E-B’s long history and connection to our community.

Congratulations, H-E-B, on 100 years in Del Rio! Here’s to many more years of serving our community!
