HEB Temple Fuel Island/Pumphouse

H-E-B completed the construction of a new fuel island and pumphouse facility at 4750 Wendland Road in Temple, Texas. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) as HEB Temple Fuel Island/Pumphouse, involved the new construction of an approximately 700 square foot pumphouse with a remote restroom. The facility includes underground fuel storage tanks and a dedicated fuel island, adding fueling capabilities to the existing H-E-B campus in Bell County.

The estimated cost for this new construction project was $7,444,336. This figure places the project in the top quarter of estimated costs for similar new construction filings in Bell County, where the median estimated cost is $850,000. The cost per square foot for this specific facility was $10,635, which is significantly above the county median of $151 per square foot for new construction projects.

The design firm of record is Ryan A+E inc, and the registered accessibility specialist was Robert Ronson. The project was privately funded on private land for private use. The scheduled build window was 458 days, which is longer than the county median of 242 days for similar projects. The construction start date was October 2023, and the completion date on the filing was January 2025.

TDLR closed the project file in January 2025, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The surrounding area, ZIP code 76504, has a population of about 24,856 and a median household income of $50,420, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates.

H-E-B has six other TDLR-registered projects, totaling $154,850,000, including a $125,000,000 bakery in San Antonio and a $23,700,000 store in Lubbock. The Bell County unemployment rate was 5.5 percent in June 2026, higher than a year earlier. This project represents a significant investment in fueling infrastructure for the Temple retail market.
