Wine megastore Total Wine & More has opened at the north end of the Potomac Yard shopping center.
The store took the place of a Pier One, which closed. Through this weekend, 10 percent of sales from the new store will support Together We Bake, an Alexandria nonprofit organization that provides workforce training and personal development for women.
Total Wine & More also has a store at 6240 Little River Turnpike in Lincolnia. There are more stores located throughout Northern Virginia including in Ballston, McLean, Springfield, Fairfax City, Reston, Sterling and Chantilly.
Total Wine & More bills itself as America's Wine Superstore®, the country‘s largest independent retailer of fine wine. The Bethesda-based company got its start in 1991 when brothers David and Robert Trone opened a small store in Delaware. Today, the company operates 214 stores across 26 states and continues to grow.
The typical Total Wine & More store carries more than 8,000 different wines from every wine-producing region in the world, alongside more than 2,500 beers, from America's most popular brands to hard-to-find microbrews and imports, and more than 3,000 different spirits in every style and price range.
