The grand opening of the Glendale location of Total Wine & More on March 8 was well-attended by many locals eager to see the result of months of work on one of the main buildings of the former Fashion Center at 221 N. Glendale Ave.

The festivities did not disappoint. Store manager Melina Calderon showed off the many unique aspects of the space – including a cigar humidifier room. Plenty of tastes were available for guests to enjoy, spotlighting the wide selection available at Total Wine & More.

Brothers David and Robert Trone opened the business in 1991. Today, Total Wine & More boasts a reputation of being the nation’s leading retailer of wine, spirits and beer. It is also involved with philanthropic outreach; for the March 8 event Glendale Arts was chosen as its official charity partner.
