TEXAS CITY, Texas — Supermarket chain H-E-B’s plan to build a larger store in Texas City could mean the end of Palmer Club, a watering hole frequented by mainlanders for 30 years.
Finding a new landlord who welcomes bars won’t be easy, said Larry Roberts, who with his wife, Fay, owns Palmer Club, 3500 Palmer Highway.
“It’s always been like an old favorite,” he said. “What can I say? We’re heartbroken.”
Late last year, H-E-B bought the 87,237-square-foot Palmer Shopping Center, just east of state Highway 146 and north of Palmer Highway, from Silvestri Investments with plans for a new concept.
