Loveland to Get New Grocery Option With WinCo Foods

However, the grocery store locations were not all that close to my home in Northern Colorado. These locations, named for the initial WinCo Foods stores, are located in Thornton and in Firestone. Now, news has broken that a Northern Colorado location is in the works.

According to the Reporter-Herald, WinCo Foods has purchased a building in Loveland. This location is where Jax Outdoor Gear, Farm, and Ranch used to be in East Loveland at 950 East Eisenhower Boulevard. Larimer County property records show that WinCo Foods LLC purchased the property for $7.6 million in late July from the seller, Jax Loveland Property LLC.

When Will the Loveland WinCo Open?

While WinCo Foods is not officially operating in the state of Colorado, the news of a new option when shopping for groceries for Coloradans is certainly something to look forward to. I, for one, cannot wait for WinCo to be open and running here in Northern Colorado. However, we will all have to wait it out until the doors officially open for the first time. When that will be, we are not sure, but we are ready.
