People's Waffle coming to Coeur d' Alene

 

People's Waffle, a locally owned and operated restaurant that been a staple in Downtown Spokane for the last few years at 15 S. Howard has its sights set on a new second location in Coeur d' Alene. The Coeur d' Alene People's Waffle will be located at 400 N. 4th, a few blocks north of Downtown Coeur d' Alene and the Lake. They are planning to open this new location sometime in May and are currently looking for employees. An exact opening date will be announced on their social media, which will be linked below.

Both People's Waffle locations will serve the same menu of waffles and wafflewiches, with options for breakfast or lunch. There also is a selection of coffees and teas, as well as specials which I'm told the Coeur d' Alene will likely have different specials then the Downtown Spokane location. Noteworthily is that People's Waffle also is a 100% gluten-free kitchen using Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-1 Baking Flour.

World Market applies for tenant improvement near Spokane Valley Mall

 

Alameda,CA based retail chain, World Market appears to have its sights set on a new store in Spokane Valley. This is based on a recent tenant improvement permit application filed by the company to remodel the former Joann Fabrics store at 15110 E. Indiana, in a plaza nearby the Spokane Valley Mall. The company already has one location in our area, nearby the intersection of Division & Francis in North Spokane, so this would be the company's second location in the Inland Northwest market. 

As this is based of city permit data there is no opening date given. The space included in the permit is 23,425 square feet, with Yost Gallager Construction listed as the general contractor and architectural project work done by Studio+ Architects, which are both local businesses. World Market reported 258 stores in 2020 and sells primarily furniture and decor, appeal and international foods.
