Madison’s wine, beer and liquor crowd could soon have another major shopping option.

Total Wine & More, a Maryland-based liquor store company, has filed a request with the city for a liquor license for a 23,146-square-foot store at West Towne Mall. The store would be nearly twice the size of the nearby liquor store at Woodman’s Market and be located in the highly visible southeast corner of the mall near the intersection of South Gammon Road and the Beltline.

The proposed store would use part of the space that became available last year when the Sears store was reduced in size and be located adjacent to a 31,000-square-foot Dave & Buster’s restaurant scheduled to open this spring.

Total Wine bills itself as the country’s “largest independent retailer of fine wine, beer and spirits” and by the end of this year is scheduled to have over 170 locations in 20 states. In November 2016, Total Wine opened its first store in Wisconsin in Brookfield and will open a 24,000-square-foot store next spring in Greenfield.
