Update Sept 23rd 2011

Good Morning! this post may end up being short but hopefully I can get to more later on...

Subway has placed their coming soon signs up in the strip mall that houses the State Liquor Store on Prarie Ave. at the corner of Atlas Rd. in Coeur d Alene. Glad to see something going in there as the small strip mall seems to have been slow to fill up but this is the final vacant unit.

Trader Joe's new store on the South Hill has been announced as opening Oct 28th, The store has been taking applications in the last few days and I've heard they've already had some good crowds of job-seekers .

Hammer's Treasure Chest is a new Thrift Store that opened this week on Seltice Way in Post Falls.They are in between Mountian View Motors and Walgreen's which is on the corner with Idaho St.

The North Face has been working on their new retail outlet inside the River Park Square Mall on the first floor and it has announced it will open on Sept. 30th.And in other River Park Square news Coeur d Alene based women's clothing retailer,Vivo has announced they will open a store on the 3rd floor of the mall which will leave just one vacancy in the mall.Vivo should also be noted as experiencing extremely rapid growth starting as 1 store in Downtown Coeur d Alene they now also have stores at Spokane Valley Mall and Northtown Mall and in a recent newspaper article their owner mentioned they have plans for a store in Hayden with a processing center to serve stores they hope to have in the Seattle market in the next few years.

Love@First Bite is a new cupcake store that opened recently on Sprague Ave. near University Ave in Spokane Valley. I can personally recommend their store having tried it the other day and is well worth the trip.

Much buzz has been going around about all of the service changes to Spokane Transit Routes throughout the Inland Northwest, Hopefully this link helps.The changes we're brought on to save STA money with a cash strapped budget like many other government agencies are in right now.
