Asheville, N.C. – Sept. 25, 2019 – HEB Mexico, Escobedo, Nuevo León, Mexico, was recognized with the No. 2 Sales Volume Small Chain Retailer award by the Certified Angus Beef ® brand. The award was presented at the brand’s Annual Conference, held Sept. 23-25, in Asheville, N.C. Brand partners at the conference, including meat processors, distributors, chefs, retailers and cattle ranchers, explored merchandising and marketing solutions to satisfy growing consumer demand for great-tasting beef.

HEB Mexico began offering the branded beef in black trays, so customers can easily distinguish it in the meat case.
