Shreveport Welcomes Total Wine & More
Total Wine & More is set to open its new location in Shreveport, Louisiana, on Thursday, November 6, 2025, with a preview event planned for November 5. This new store is located at the former Conn’s HomePlus site at 7081 Youree Drive and will span an area of 26,000 square feet.
The upcoming store aims to be a destination liquor store, boasting a massive selection of over 13,500 beers, wines, and spirits available for purchase. Total Wine is expected to employ between 50 to 75 team members at this location, enhancing local employment opportunities.
During the opening weekend, a portion of sales will support a local cause, with 10% of wine sales donated to the Shreveport Opera. The company has a history of community engagement; in 2024, Total Wine donated $13 million in cash and in-kind items to various community charities.
Store Features and Offerings
This new location will include a humidor for high-end cigars and a classroom designated for public tasting classes and employee training, indicating the brand’s commitment to quality and consumer education. Total Wine prides itself on its knowledgeable staff, who will undergo training on taste profiles and product information to ensure they can assist customers effectively.
Additionally, Total Wine is adapting to market trends. Alongside its traditional alcohol offerings, the store will also feature non-alcoholic options and bar supplies, catering to a broader customer base. The growing popularity of THC hemp-infused beverages is also a focus for the company, striving to meet changing consumer preferences.
Commitment to Security and Theft Prevention
Total Wine is taking steps to ensure a safe shopping environment. The store will prioritize ID checks and implement security measures, including installing numerous surveillance cameras to prevent retail theft.
Background of Total Wine & More
Total Wine & More was founded in 1991 and has grown to include over 280 stores across 30 states. The company is known for its focus on low pricing and a wide selection, which encompasses over 8,000 different wines and more than 2,500 beers.
The addition of the Shreveport location marks Total Wine’s expansion into north Louisiana, where it joins existing stores in Metairie, Mandeville, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette. The previous Conn’s HomePlus store had been part of a nationwide liquidation of around 100 locations due to bankruptcy filings, paving the way for this new retail opportunity.
Store Remodeling and Investment
The remodeling of the former Conn’s site required a substantial investment, amounting to over $2.1 million, according to a permit filed prior to the grand opening.
