Murphy Oil, a fueling station and convenience store, is expected to open on the doorstep of Joe V’s Smart Shop in North
Houston. According to a press release from NewQuest, which secured the 1.18-acre ground lease, the new Murphy Oil will open at the H-E-B property at 2929 FM 1960.
“Joe V’s parent company, H-E-B, has been weighing the option of a fueling station at that corner for roughly two years. It will generate a lot of cross-traffic within the shopping center,” Rebecca Le, executive vice president of Houston-based NewQuest, said in the press release.
What Now Houston briefly chatted with Le, who confirmed the upcoming opening. Unfortunately, Le was unable to share further details by the time of this publication.
“With a limited number of pad sites, H-E-B is being selective about the end use. Murphy Oil is a quality operator and a good fit for the center,” Le said in the press release.
The H-E-B property at 2929 FM 1960 features a 55,000-square-foot Joe V’s, which opened in 2017; 18,000 sf of neighborhood services’ inline retail; and a Quick Quack Car Wash. Murphy Oil has secured a retail pad site at a signalized intersection fronting one of the region’s most heavily traveled freeways.
The addition to the Joe V’s shopping center, which draws 1.8 million visits per year, will be located at the intersection of FM 1960 and Aldine Westfield Road. Construction is underway, with completion ticketed for Q2.
Keep your eyes peeled and your ears perked for the latest on this exciting new addition.
