Interesting - though I am suspicious of the claim it is the largest privately-owned company in the US maybe that depends on definitions. Private vs Private & Family Controlled.

This list shows HEB as #13 - but interesting is that several on the list are food companies. But on that list, I am sure several are "private" but not "family owned" rather owned by large investment groups.So maybe HEB is at or near the top of family controlled private companies.

And FWIW, I knew what HEB was - I spent some time in the Austin area (Georgetown) and I have been in their markets, I just couldn't resist making a stupid (and probably old) joke.

Strange that they went with the initials instead of just calling it “Butt Foods”.

...an H-E-B on the South Side off Goliad Road and Southeast Military Drive.

Used to buy $1.50 six-packs of generic beer (Pearl Light) there, back in the day when the AF base still existed.

I was at an HEB a few months ago while visiting family. Milk was $1.26 a gallon! (It’s around $4 a gallon, here in Oklahoma).

“Not seriously hurt” is NOT the same as “serious bodily injury” for purposes of the mandatory life sentence for kidnapping. I hope the perp gets that.
