WinCo Foods officially opened its Wichita Falls location on October 13, 2025, adding a 24-hour, employee-owned grocery store to the city’s Kell Boulevard corridor. The store operates at 3015 Wenonah Avenue and marked the completion of a project that had been in development since late 2024.
Construction followed a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing that listed a November 12, 2024 start date. Site work, road improvements, and interior buildout continued through most of 2025 before the store opened in the fall. The location is now fully operational and serving customers around the clock.
From Long-Vacant Land to Active Retail
The site had remained largely undeveloped for decades. Historic aerial imagery shows rail lines crossing the property in the mid-20th century, followed by long periods of inactivity even as nearby commercial development expanded. The former Grant Theater drive-in once operated nearby, but the parcel itself sat unused as Kell Boulevard evolved into one of Wichita Falls’ main retail corridors.
The opening of WinCo Foods transformed a long-dormant tract into a high-traffic grocery anchor, representing one of the more significant recent retail activations in this part of the city.
What Reviews Say So Far
Since opening in October 2025, early customer feedback has been largely positive. The Wichita Falls WinCo location currently holds a 4.5-star rating on Google with nearly 200 reviews, with many shoppers praising low prices, bulk buying options, and the store’s 24-hour schedule.
Frequent comments point to noticeable savings on everyday staples and a spacious, warehouse-style layout that keeps shopping efficient. Some reviewers mention the no-frills atmosphere and more limited brand selection compared to traditional supermarkets, a tradeoff that aligns with WinCo’s low-overhead business model rather than surprising customers.
Overall, reviews suggest the store has settled quickly into the local grocery landscape and is already influencing where and how residents shop.
