Euless gets its first liquor store

It didn’t take long for the first liquor store to open in Euless. Almost a year after voters approved liquor stores in commercial areas, Total Wine & More opened Thursday morning at 2501 Rio Grande Blvd. in the fast-growing Glade Parks development.

The 17,000-square foot store features a walk-in humidor and temperature-controlled wine room for rare selections.

In November, Euless voters approved allowing liquor stores by a wide margin. In preparation, the City Council voted to allow zoning for liquor stores in commercial areas.

Houston-based Spec’s Wines, Spirits, & Finer Foods is planning a store the River Walk Development in the 900 block of East Harwood Road, near the homes in the Estates of Bear Creek subdivision.
