If you miss buying international wines from World Market, here's some news worth toasting.

Total Wine & More will have a grand opening on Oct. 10 in the roughly 22,500-square-foot space formerly occupied by World Market.

The store, to open at 5425 S. Padre Island Drive, Suite 136C and 136D, according to the chain's website, will be the first location in Texas south of San Antonio.

Its grand opening weekend has been advertised as Oct. 10 – Oct. 12. Customers can receive a free welcome gift including savings and a reusable wine tote. That offer is valid while supplies last and limited to one person of legal drinking age per household.

Cost Plus World Market closed at the location nearly a year ago. The brand is known for selling international merchandise including wine.

Total Wine & More is "American's Wine Superstore" and the country's largest independent retailer of fine wine, according to its website.

The company started in 1991 when brothers David and Robert Trone opened a small store in Delaware. Today there are 197 Total Wine & More superstores across 23 states.

The typical store carries more than 8,000 different wines from every wine-producing region in the world, according to the website. Typical stores also also carry more than 2,500 beers, including America‘s most popular brands and hard-to-find microbrews and imports, as well as more than 3,000 different spirits.

The chain was issued a city building permit to renovate the space in April with a cost valuation of $500,000.
