Charles Butt, the Texas billionaire magnate behind the H-E-B supermarket chain which forbid the open carry of firearms law that went into effect January 1, 2016, opposes school choice, funds anti-school choice lobbyists, and is even credited for his role in killing a 2011 state bill banning âsanctuary cities.â
Butt is the 2015 fourth richest Texan and Forbesâ 44th wealthiest person in America with a net worth of $10.7 billion known for funneling hard earned assets into educational lobby groups that fight school choice, although the 77-year-old grocer received a private Ivy League college education that included an undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvaniaâs prestigious Wharton School and a masterâs in business administration from Harvard. Texas Watchdog stated Butt believes that private competition âundermines government schools.â

Yep. If I was still living down there I’d find a new grocer.
I wonder who sweeps the floors at his stores? I bet it’s not Americans.
And they charge you for bags ... at least in Austin
I would stay my ass out of his stores too.
Aptly named
did a little poking on him and turns up he was on a list of 20 most intensely religious businesses.
old FR thread.
I guess religious doesn’t always mean smart.
does he have a “sanctuary city” for the rape victims, DWI victim and murder victims of illegals?
!#$@# !@#!@# jerk.
LOL
Too Funny....
I’m done with HEB. Thanks for posting.

“Charles Butt”
The founder was, I think, named Harold Earl Butt. So, it is literally Harry Butt’s grocery
Same guy that primarily donates to Dems.....and donated $250,000 to Rick Perry.
I did. I now go to Kroger. I already knew that Butts was pro illegal alien, but the open carry prohibition was the last straw for me. I will carry concealed anyway, but Kroger’s policy was that they would allow open carry in any states that allowed it.
He must be a mighty poor shot!
Not in SA, but they did piss me off with this decision...
Donates to either party. But they always want something in return. There are plenty of wealthy business people that do this.
I was not crazy about HEB.
Time for Texans who pay taxes and believe in the second amendment to boycott this $ob’s businesses.
I’ve lived in Texas my whole life, minus the time in college. I couldn’t tell you where the nearest HEB is. To me, HEB is an acronym for the cities of Hurst-Euless-Bedford. I did use to date a firey red head from Bedford years ago.
