Butler North is getting a wine, beer and liquor superstore with the announcement Tuesday that Total Wine & More will open a 20,000-square-foot store there in early spring 2017.



Total Wine, with headquarters in Potomac, Maryland, describes itself as the largest independent wine retailer in the U.S., with 130 stores in 18 states, including nine in Florida.



The stores carry more than 8,000 wines from every wine-producing region in the world, more than 2,500 beers, more than 3,000 spirits, glassware, gifts and accessories, according to a news release.



The company website says Total Wine’s buying power and relationships with producers, importers and wholesalers bring savings that are passed on to customers.



The 20,000-square-foot store compares to the 8,000 to 12,000 square feet for a typical ABC Fine Wine & Spirits stores.



Butler North, the 750,000-square-foot expansion to Butler Plaza, is 86 percent leased, with negotiations ongoing for the rest of the space, according to a news release from Butler Enterprises.
