Yep, Central Market is an HEB store. I've stopped at one here a couple times, but it's not convenient. I normally shop at the HEB plus! in Pearland, they stock a number of items from Central Market. Fun story - while in high school, we lived in Portland, just across Nueces Bay from Corpus Christi where HEB's headquarters was at the time (they relocated to San Antonio a while back). Their IT manager lived across the street from us and he backed into my car one day. He stopped by to give us his insurance info so my folks walked him back to my room where I was working on my Vic 20 BBS software. After explaining what I was working on and showing him the code (both assembly and BASIC), he told me to come work for him when I finished school (I was 16 a the time). Never took him up on it though, I'm not a fan of Corpus Christi and much prefer living in Houston.

We've been getting a number of California chains of late. Probably a side effect of the influx of people we've had from that state. While I liked the food at Carl's Jr, I've stopped going there because the service has been really bad and the restaurant's haven't been clean - I'd get there around 11:30 before the lunch rush starts, but always have trouble finding a clean table in the nearly empty restaurant. They would also screw my order up almost half the time.

Another thing we get spoiled with:

I picked that up yesterday. HEB makes these, but I seldom buy them due to my low carb diet.
