Total Wine is taking shape in Potomac Yard

By James Cullum

Even though it’s still boarded up, Total Wine & More is hiring at its Potomac Yard location.

The 18,000 square foot property at 3901 Richmond Highway is the former home of Pier 1 Imports, which closed in March 2020.

The Bethesda-based company reportedly plans to open at the location this year, and is now hiring a a wine and service specialist, sales associates, cashiers and merchandisers.

The Potomac Yard location is directly next door to the vacant former Shoppers Food Warehouse, which is planned to be replaced by an Amazon Fresh grocery store. Both are also within a short distance of the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus development.

Total Wine has hundreds of locations around the country, including in the Landmark area. That location is also hiring.
