Shreveport is set to welcome its first Total Wine and More location, a significant addition to the north Louisiana area, located at 7081 Youree Drive—the former site of Conn’s HomePlus. This opening marks a key expansion for the popular alcohol retailer, known for its extensive selection of wine, spirits, and beer.
The Conn’s HomePlus store closed in July 2024 as part of a national liquidation following bankruptcy filings, leaving the site available for new business opportunities. Total Wine has already made its presence known by installing its signage and is currently accepting job applications through its website.
Renovations at the Shreveport location are currently underway, with an estimated cost exceeding $2.1 million. A commercial remodel building permit was issued in May, and the work involves various interior alterations along with electrical and plumbing adjustments. TDS Construction Inc. from Bradenton, Florida, is serving as the general contractor for this project.
Known as an “alcohol supercenter,” Total Wine boasts an impressive inventory, featuring more than 8,000 different wines and over 2,500 beers, which includes both popular brands and rare imports. The retailer currently has 285 locations across the United States, with four existing locations in Louisiana: Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Metairie, and Mandeville.
Total Wine prioritizes providing the lowest prices on wine, spirits, and beer, evident from the extensive lists available on its website, which includes 5,733 results for wine and 5,503 for spirits.
The new store is conveniently located next to Lowe’s, further enhancing its accessibility to local customers. The city of Shreveport’s permits office is currently waiting for final inspections to be conducted before issuing a Certificate of Occupancy, a process that usually takes a few days unless complications arise.
Responses within the local community highlight varying expectations regarding the impact of Total Wine’s opening. Local liquor store owner Grant Nuckolls indicated that while he did not believe the new store would significantly increase the market size, it might improve the distribution of certain brands and potentially affect larger retail chains such as Brookshires, Kroger, Albertsons, and Walmart.
