All H-E-B stores will close early at 8 p.m. "until further notice."

"As H-E-B focuses on serving Texas, shortened hours allow H-E-B Partners to work diligently overnight to fully prepare the store for customers during the day," the grocer said.

"Today, all H-E-B stores will implement temporary modified hours. Tonight (3/14) all of our stores will close at 8pm."

H-E-B said that starting on March 15th, all stores will operate from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

On Friday, H-E-B said in a social media post it has been preparing for coronavirus and was "in a strong position to keep replenishing our shelves."

It urged customers not to panic. "We are continuing to restock shelves around-the-clock."
