H. E. Butt Grocery Company
 PROFILE
The Muzak bounces between Tejano and country, and the tortillas and ribs are big sellers at H. E. Butt Grocery Company (H-E-B). Texas' largest private company, H-E-B is the #1 food retailer in South and Central Texas, with more than 280 H-E-B supermarkets, including about 90 rural locations and several gourmet Central Markets. Nearly a fourth of the stores also have gas pumps. H-E-B operates facilities for processing meat, dairy products, and bread, and it offers the H-E-B and Hill Country Fare private labels. Already familiar with the tastes of Latinos (who make up about half of its Texas market), it is expanding in Mexico with both upscale and discount stores. The founding Butt family owns the firm.
