Dave & Busters might be coming to Spokane Valley

 A big request for new businesses to come to Spokane has always been Dave & Busters. The Dallas,TX based chain is a favorite in many cities, known for being a full-service restaurant with full bar and video arcade. In 2023, I heard a rumor that Dave & Busters was considering a site in Spokane Valley. And, while the site involved in the rumor doesn't seem to be accurate it does look like Dave & Busters is in fact considering coming to Spokane Valley.


Recently, Dave & Busters filed a pre-development application with the City of Spokane Valley to begin the process of developing a new location in the city. There have been no building permits issued as of yet, so this post is not a confirmation the Dave & Busters will for sure open here, but there's no denying that it is a good sign. We also did reach out to a PR contact with Dave & Busters and we're told the company has no comment at this time.

Under the pre-development filing's public records, the company hopes to build a new location at 13921 E. Mansfield Ave.. This would be on the newer addition to Mansfield Ave. , east of the Tru by Hilton hotel and northwest of Spokane Valley Mall, but on the other side of the railroad tracks from the mall itself. 

The current plan is to build a new construction 30,000 square foot building on a 4.0 acre site with a surrounding 232 car surface parking lot. The arcade section is planned to occupy about 11,000 square feet of the new building with the remainder used for the bar. restaurant dining space, offices and other support areas. According to the plan the restaurant would seat 369 with an additional 60 seats available in the lounge area.

It's still early in the process so an opening date, general contractor, etc. are not yet available. However, we do plan to continue watching for more news and updates on a possible Dave & Busters coming to the Spokane area. Currently the closest open locations for the chain are in Western Washington with stores in Auburn, Bellevue and Lynnwood.
