The Wine & Cheese Place will be expanding its Creve Coeur location at 457 N. New Ballas Road, which opened in June of last year. As explained in an announcement sent to supporters, sales at the Creve Coeur shop have surpassed expectations, which has led to the decision to expand into the adjacent storefront, previously a decorative hardware store. The additional 1,200 square feet equates to an expansion of more than 50 percent.
Construction in the newly acquired space is planned to begin in January. During construction, hours of operation at the shop will not be interrupted. When the expansion is unveiled at a grand opening slated for February 1, patrons can select from more than 1,200 newly stocked wines, hundreds of additional beers, plus an increased selection of spirits, accessories and specialty food items.
