News Summary
Total Wine & More will be opening its first location in Shreveport, Louisiana at 7081 Youree Drive, converting the former Conn’s HomePlus site. The store will feature a vast selection of over 5,700 types of wine and spirits, along with a variety of alcoholic beverages. The renovation is expected to cost over $2.1 million and job applications for the new store are already being accepted. This large-scale retailer aims to transform local liquor shopping dynamics in the area.
Shreveport is set to welcome its first Total Wine & More location at 7081 Youree Drive. The new store will take over the former Conn’s HomePlus site, which ceased operations in July 2024 due to bankruptcy and liquidation of approximately 100 locations across the United States.
The company has pulled an interior renovation permit estimated to cost over $2.1 million to remodel the space. This large-scale store is often referred to as an “alcohol supercenter” and features an extensive selection of beverages. Total Wine & More’s website boasts 5,733 types of wine and 5,503 types of spirits available for purchase.
In addition to wine and spirits, the chain offers a variety of alcoholic drinks, including beer, seltzers, THC-infused beverages, and related gifts. Currently, there are 285 Total Wine locations scattered across the United States, of which four are already established in Louisiana locations such as Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Metairie, and Mandeville.
Job seekers can now apply for positions at the upcoming Shreveport location through Total Wine’s company website. Specific opening dates and further details about the Shreveport store have not been disclosed, as the company has not responded to inquiries regarding this information.
The new store will be conveniently located near a Lowe’s home improvement store at the same address. Prior to its closure, Conn’s HomePlus was a retailer known for selling furniture, mattresses, electronics, and appliances.
The renovations at the Total Wine location are being handled by TDS Construction Inc., based in Bradenton, Florida. Local liquor store owner Grant Nuckolls has indicated that he expects Total Wine’s entry into the market may significantly disrupt local liquor retail dynamics, particularly impacting larger chains like Brookshires, Kroger, Albertsons, and Walmart, while leaving smaller boutique shops less affected.
Current shopping trends indicate a growing consumer interest in nonalcoholic beverages and THC-infused products, which could present challenges for traditional liquor sales moving forward.
