Total Wine & More is preparing to open its first location in North Louisiana at 7081 Youree Drive, the site formerly occupied by Conn’s Home Plus. The grand opening date has yet to be confirmed, but the new store will take over a space that had been utilized by Conn’s Home Plus, which ceased operations in July 2024.
Conn’s Home Plus was a long-standing retailer of furniture, mattresses, electronics, and appliances, established in 1890. In contrast, Total Wine & More is the largest independent wine superstore in the United States, founded in 1991 by brothers David and Robert Trone in Delaware. The chain currently operates more than 280 stores across 30 states and is known for offering the lowest prices on wine, spirits, and beer.
The upcoming Shreveport location will feature over 8,000 different varieties of wines and more than 2,500 beer options, including hard-to-find microbrews and imported selections. This new addition will expand Total Wine’s presence in Louisiana, which already includes locations in Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Metairie, and Mandeville.
A commercial remodel permit for the Shreveport store has been secured, and renovations are expected to exceed $2.1 million. The remodeling project will involve significant interior work, including alterations, fixtures, electrical, and plumbing aspects. TDS Construction Inc., based in Bradenton, Florida, has been contracted for the renovation tasks.
Job applications are currently being accepted for positions at the new Shreveport location through the company’s website. The store will be situated next to Lowe’s, providing easy access for potential customers.
Industry experts, such as Grant Nuckolls, co-owner of Cuban Liquor & Wine Co., foresee that Total Wine could influence the local distribution of certain brands. However, there are concerns that the arrival of this national retailer may negatively impact smaller, local retailers operating in the area.
Nuckolls also notes a growing trend among consumers, particularly those aged 25 to 45, showing increasing interest in THC-infused beverages and nonalcoholic alternatives. This trend may affect demand for traditional alcoholic products as Total Wine enters the local market.
As the Shreveport permits office awaits final details to approve the remodeling project, the anticipation for Total Wine’s first North Louisiana location continues to build.
