ABC Fine Wine & Spirits is preparing to introduce a new retail concept to Central Florida, with its first-ever Superstore set to open December 3 at 641 Centerview Blvd. in Kissimmee.
At 23,000 square feet, the new location will be roughly twice the size of a typical ABC store, giving customers considerably more room to explore its selection of wine, spirits, beer and non-alcoholic beverages. The company says the store will carry more than 11,000 beverage options.
But the expanded footprint is about more than additional shelf space. The Superstore will feature an in-store tasting center where customers can sample products daily, offering an opportunity to discover different selections before making a purchase.
Another feature is a walk-in, climate-controlled cigar humidor, adding to the store’s specialty offerings. Customers will also find a dedicated gifting bar with self-service, ready-made and custom gift-wrapping options, along with gift baskets for different occasions.
The new concept is part of a broader expansion for the Florida-based retailer. The Kissimmee opening will be the first of five Superstores planned across the state over the next six months, although the company has not yet announced the locations of the other four.
“For more than 90 years, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits has been part of Central Florida’s celebrations, and opening our first-ever Superstore in Kissimmee marks an exciting new chapter in that tradition,” said Charles Bailes, chairman and CEO of ABC Fine Wine & Spirits.
He added that the company sees the new store as a place where customers can shop, attend tastings and take part in community events, building on the role the family-owned business has played in Florida over the years.
ABC Fine Wine & Spirits traces its roots to Orlando in 1936, when founder Jack Holloway opened a neighborhood bar and package store at the corner of North Orange Avenue and Wall Street. The business later became ABC Liquors before adopting its current name as its retail stores evolved.
Today, the company operates more than 126 locations throughout Florida and remains family-owned and operated. Its range includes wine, spirits, beer, specialty products and its own Sourced & Certified collection, alongside services such as online ordering and in-store pickup.
The Kissimmee store will officially open its doors at 10 a.m. on Thursday, December 3. A grand opening celebration is planned for Saturday, December 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will include product tastings, interactive brand experiences, bottle engraving, giveaways and gourmet bites, with company leadership and team members joining local guests.
The store’s regular hours will be Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
