The McKinney-area resident was one of many in her neighborhood to receive a gift bag as the site of a nearby H-E-B breaks ground to become the DFW area's third store. "I took it as a friendly gesture, kind of like they were saying, 'we are here, we’re happy to be a part of your community and by the way, pardon our dust'," Rutherford said.At the groundbreaking ceremony, H-E-B announced that it will be donating $10,000 to five area non-profits and there was a performance by the McKinney Boyd High School Jazz Ensemble.
“Today is an exciting day for our community as we break ground on this highly-anticipated store in the City of McKinney. H-E-B is famous for its wildly committed fanbase and unwavering commitment to the communities they serve,” McKinney Mayor George Fuller said at the ceremony. “We are proud to be part of the growing H-E-B family in Texas and give our residents more options to keep their dollars local.”"I felt like one of the lucky ones," Rutherford said.
