Regal is no longer shown as for lease and is shown as a future Planet Fitness gym location on marketing flyers for nearby commercial real estate. As this was not confirmed by Planet Fitness corporate there is no known opening date for this location, but it is in a part of the region that doesn't have a location of the chain just yet.

Planet Fitness is a national chain of fitness clubs based in New Hampshire, known for low fees and long hours, many being open 24 hours a day. The company currently also has gyms on Northwest Blvd and N. Newport Hwy in Spokane, on E. Sprague in Spokane Valley and in an anchor space of Silver Lake Mall is Coeur d' Alene.
