WinCo Foods Opening Country Club Plaza Location Next Week

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A shopping center that's made headlines for its closures will be celebrating the opening of a new store next week.

Country Club Plaza announced WinCo Foods will be opening its doors on Sept. 1 at 9 a.m. The long-planned store will replace the Gottschalks that closed in 2009. New ownership pushed the project forward with a deal guaranteeing WinCo would have an entrance inside the mall to drive foot traffic as well as an exterior entrance.

The shopping center has been hit by closures in recent years.

In March, the Macy's that called the plaza home for 55 years closed its doors. The following month, Sport Chalet announced it would be closing all of its stores, including the one at Country Club Plaza.

But owners hope the opening of WinCo Foods will be the start of a new chapter for the plaza. A Hibachi Grill & Buffet and a Planet Fitness are planned to open in the fall, and a new movie theater is slated for a 2017 opening.
