Shreveport is set to welcome the first north Louisiana location of Total Wine and More, an “alcohol supercenter” known for its extensive selection of beverages. The new store will be located at 7081 Youree Drive, next to Lowe’s, and will take over the site of the former Conn’s HomePlus store. A commercial remodel building permit has already been approved for the store, which is expected to undergo an interior renovation costing over $2.1 million.
TDS Construction Inc., based in Bradenton, Florida, has been designated as the general contractor for the remodel. The new Total Wine and More location will offer a variety of products, including wine with over 5,733 varieties, spirits with 5,503 varieties, beer, seltzers, THC-infused drinks, and gifts. With more than 285 locations across the U.S. and four existing in Louisiana—including Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Metairie, and Mandeville—Total Wine and More is well-positioned to make a significant entrance into the Shreveport market.
Currently, applications for positions at the new Shreveport store are being accepted via the company’s website. However, Total Wine and More has not yet announced an official opening date or specific store details. Local liquor store owners, such as Grant Nuckolls, acknowledged that while the new store may not expand the overall market, it could affect distribution and compete against larger grocery chains like Brookshire’s, Kroger, Albertsons, and Walmart.

Impact on the Local Market
The anticipated opening of Total Wine and More in Shreveport has generated mixed reactions. Local liquor store co-owner Grant Nuckolls noted that the introduction of a large chain may not lead to market growth but could influence distribution patterns. This could lead to increased competition for established grocery and liquor retailers such as Brookshire’s, Kroger, Albertsons, and Walmart.
As the company moves forward, details about the store’s grand opening and specific offerings will be monitored closely by local residents and business owners alike.
