Liquor superstore Total Wine & More is planning to open its fifth central Indiana location Sept. 7 in Avon.
The store will sell wine, beer and spirits in a 28,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by a Bed Bath & Beyond housewares retailer.
Total Wine’s new store is part of the Shiloh Crossing shopping center, 10350 E. U.S. 36.
Edward Cooper, vice president for public affairs for Bethesda, Maryland-based Total Wine & More, said the store will donate 10% of wine sales from its opening weekend of business to the Avon Education Foundation—a not-for-profit that supports the Avon Community School Corp.
Bed Bath & Beyond closed more than 350 stores this year as part of bankruptcy proceedings. Earlier this month, Overstock.com relaunched the Bed Bath & Beyond domain online after acquiring the retail chain’s intellectual property assets for $21.5 million.
Total Wine & More operates more than 240 stores in 28 states.
In Indiana, the company opened four stores from November 2020 to September 2022:
- Nora, 1460 E. 86th St., 26,000 square feet in part of a former Marsh grocery store, November 2020.
- Greenwood, 2110 E. County Line Road, 25,000 square feet in a former Earth Fare grocery store, August 2022.
- Noblesville, 13145 Levinson Lane, 23,000 square feet in a former Earth Fare grocery store, September 2022.
- Westfield, 2520 E. 146th St., 34,000 square feet in a former Stein Mart department store, September 2022.
