BASTROP, TX-Two growth trends are meeting in Bastrop, a growing community about 30 miles east of Austin, and the result could be a new H-E-B grocery store. Planned for 90,000 sf, the store would nearly double the size of the store it is replacing.

One growth line is H-E-B. The San Antonio-based chain has opened seven stores in the Austin area in the past year and is continuing on that path. Its most recent Austin store at Interstate 35 and Parmer Lane is 90,000 sf as is a recently opened store in Georgetown.

The other growth line is Bastrop. The 10th fastest growing Texas county in the 1990s, Bastrop County’s population jumped from 38,263 in 1990 to 57,733 in 2000. The Bastrop Chamber of Commerce says more than 31,000 vehicles travel Texas 71 through Bastrop per day and projects an increase of at least 22,000 vehicles by 2010.
