WinCo Expands To Montana, Oklahoma

WinCo is expanding into two new states.

WinCo Foods, based in Boise, is an employee-owned discount grocery retailer that has grown rapidly in recent years. It has stores in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington.

The first Montana WinCo store will open in Helena. It will be like other WinCo stores — about 85,000 square feet with a large parking lot, on a 10-acre property WinCo purchased, according to the Helena Independent Record.

The company chose Helena for its Big Sky debut because it is Montana’s capital city and “provides us a great opening to get into the Montana market,” said a company spokesperson, who asked not to be named because WinCo prefers not to “single anybody out … since we all are owners of this company.”
