Live at Garden City Grocery

After 70 years of grocery dormancy (from the Waco Tornado), the reopening of a Waco icon and protected national historic landmark building is underway! A brand new Texas grocery is setting its roots into what was masterfully architected in 1950 to be the city’s first HEB in the bullseye of Waco’s city center. Grocers from family-owned neighborhood stores nearby in Austin have teamed up with locals, as well as regional Cadence Bank and urban developer Anthem Group to revive what was once the “finest” of all 53 HEB locations at the time with “the tallest of any grocery sign in the state.” As originally acclaimed by Harold E. Butt, “there is not a store in the State of Texas superior to this one,” and nationally “there are no more than one or two that can be compared with it in size, beauty, efficiency, and completeness.”

As a true classic, and future-forward food hub, it’s now being named for where provisions and farming all began, in the Garden – and for the people that bring it to life, in the City. GARDEN CITY® Grocery is where you’ll find some of the freshest farm-to-market goods from the Heart of Texas, bringing the joy of food right to your home & family!
