Rochester, MN's New Total Wine Location

People have been hoping for a Total Wine in Rochester for years. Now, we'll finally be getting one, which is super exciting!

I drove by just a few days ago and work was definitely underway.

And they had a sign up saying that they're hiring.

They also have a page on the Total Wine website for the Rochester location.

However, it doesn't have a date just yet for when they'll be opening. All it says is that whenever the grand opening is, they'll be serving samples all weekend.

But I got an inside scoop on when our Total Wine could be opening, and it should be quite soon! Barring any setbacks, of course.

When Rochester, MN's Total Wine is Opening

I reached out to Total Wine to confirm or deny what I've heard but have yet to hear back. So since I haven't gotten official word and since Total Wine hasn't made the opening date announcement yet, only pencil this in on your calendar, you never know what could happen.

Our Total Wine in Rochester could have an opening date of November 14th! I have also heard, though, that they could open sooner, around Halloween or so.

I'm sure once they get a better idea of when they'll be ready to open, we'll hear about their official opening date. But we should see them open for business in the next month to 7 weeks.
