Buck Johnston and Camp Bosworth, longtime owners of the Wrong gallery and boutique in Marfa, have announced a new project to be located in El Paso. Sun City Super will be a bodega concept, offering a “mashup of things we know, love, and trust,” according to a recent social media post.

Opened in 2010, Wrong is known for its selection of handcrafted goods, eccentric wares, artworks by artists from Texas and around the U.S., including carved wood items by Mr. Bosworth, and cocktails in the recently christened Wrong Bar section of the store. Ms. Johnston and Mr. Bosworth also manage Do Right Hall, an events and exhibition space in Marfa.
Sun City Super will open in 2026, in the former Benton & Bixler Grocery building in the Five Points neighborhood in central El Paso.
Ms. Johnston and Mr. Bosworth received an El Paso County Healthy Food Financing Initiative (HFFI) grant, established to help businesses open or expand healthy food retail in low-income and underserved communities.

David Stout, El Paso County Commissioner for Precinct 2 and self-described foodie, posted congratulations to Sun City Super, along with fellow HFFI grant recipients Tarriba Farming and Canutillo Fruits and Veggies. “Each is helping make healthy, affordable food more accessible while strengthening our local economy,” Mr. Stout wrote.
The post states that the goal of the program is “to treat healthy food access as both a public health and economic development priority.”
Ms. Johnston told Glasstire that the grant will go toward restoring the 1912 building, and that more details about the bodega concept will be revealed next spring. Follow the progress of Sun City Super here.
