Eyemart Express, a Texas based chain of vision clinics is heading our way and will open in the coming months at 7808 N. Division. This is the former Apollo Spas store building that has since been remodeled into a small shopping center. The same shopping center that also recently became the home of the Spokane area's first Firehouse Subs as well.
The company has been around since the early 90's when they we're founded in Appleton,Wi. At some time in their history they relocated their HQ to Farmers Branch,TX where today the home office oversees 162 stores in 34 states and an ecommerce website. And, while this will Eyemart Express' first Spokane location, it's not the first in this part of the country as the company already has a store in the Tri-Cities.
Eyemart Express sells contacts and many different glasses options in addition to their locations offering eye exams via an indpendant Doctor of Optometry that practices on site. The chain also offers several deals like a second pair of glasses free with insurance and lower then average pricing.
Building permits have been pulled to build out the new Eyemart Express store but no official opening date has been announced just yet. For more information on Eyemart Express visit their website at-

Redevelopment Opportunity- Al's Motel hits the market
First of all, as of my writing this there are no actual re-development plans actually in the works for the Al's Motel building. This is simply a post to promote " what could be " to some of the readers of this site that may have a few more dollars in bank then I.
With that said Al's Motel at 1417 N. Division is not be the top of the line. And although I'm sure it's mostly perfectly fine guests coming and going from the business, we all have likely hear it mentioned on the news at least once. So, it's not really too big of surpirise when I found it going up for sale on the CRE website LoopNet.com this week. But, this in itself is actually big news!
That's because if you haven't noticed, many changes have been happening in the neighborhood around it. People are taking note of this stretch of Division and Ruby's closeness to both Gonzaga and Downtown. Many more people have moved in with the opening of 940 North apartments and a couple of other projects and business owners are investing in their sites as well. Including a new modern apartment building that will likely rise soon behind the Starbucks at Mission & Ruby ( more on that yet to come... )
So, the saying location, location , location is really ringing true for Al's Motel right now which is now available for sale from SVN Cornerstone for just $500,000. The motel offer 18 rooms, with 4 of those rooms being full apartments and an office area. For a reasonable price a developer could easily convert it into a boutique hotel or apartment complex or who knows?
With projects like the re-development of the Wonder Bread factory building underway there is likely not a better time to start a project like this. I don't claim to be an expert at real estate by any means but a change to the building would likely be welcomed in the neighborhood and the community.
Question:
What other Spokane area buildings / lots would you like to see be rehabbed into something new?

Construction of the building shell is complete for a new neighborhood style shopping center at 12930 E. Mansfield Ave. in Spokane Valley.

This will be the third location of Brothers Office Pizzeria which also operates locations in Liberty Lake and further south in the Valley.
Brothers Office Pizzeria says they are a family ran business with handcrafted pizzas, sandwiches and more. Their locationS also have beer, wine and spirits.
Specialty Training, Inc.
Specialty Training, Inc. a fitness center / personal training business will relocate their Valley location to two of the bays within the new shopping center. They also plan to keep their original location in the Downtown's Paulsen Center building open for business.

Tuesday Morning opening soon in Spokane Valley
It's Tuesday morning, so there really is no better time to break the news that the Tuesday Morning chain will open a new store in Spokane Valley soon. This will be their second store in the Spokane area and the third in the Inland Northwest.
Building permits have yet to be pulled, but a sign has appeared in the last few days out front of the site. The store will be in a newly built 12,500 square foot building nearby Spokane Valley Mall. The store will join the in-line spaces of the Evergreen Crossing shopping center at E.

Planning underway for another hotel at Spokane International Airport
Most are aware that two franchised hotels sit just a short walk east of the main baggage claim at Spokane International Airport ( Ramada and Wingate Inn ). While most every airport with commercial flight service has a hotel close by, Spokane is one of only a few with hotels being close enough for guest to walk to and from via a safe sidewalk from the terminal right up to the lobby.
And, if the planning continues to work out a third hotel, will soon join that same area. This time the new hotel will likely be closer yet then the others. This is due to a land lease setup being ironed out between the Airport and an Illinois based hotel developer. Decatur,Ill based Tharaldson Hospitality Management is purposing building their new hotel on land that is currently used as an surface parking lot for the Airport. This would be located in the gap in-between outbound Airport Dr. and the exit booths for the parking areas.
The hotel is purposed to be a franchised location of the Staybridge Suites chain, which is modern suite like hotel branding. The Spokane Airport Staybridge Suites would be a 4 story building with about 110 hotel rooms and most amenities common of mid range chain hotels.
Because planning is still on going as of my writing this, there is no set opening date just yet. It should be noted however that Tharaldson Hospitality Management is also planning to be construction another Staybridge Suites in Coeur d' Alene near the entrance to Riverstone development. That hotel is supposed to open sometime early next year, so we can guess that they are hoping to also open at Spokane International Airport sometime in 2018.
This is just one phase of some big plans coming in the near future to Spokane International Airport. The Airport plans to build a gas station / c-store not far to the east of this new hotel site in the coming months, big changes are coming soon to the shops/restaurants in the rotunda area and we're hearing about some new plans for the C concourse gates.

Spokane Overstock to take on Idaho, to open Overstocked Mattress & Furniture in Hayden
Spokane Overstock is a local small business success stories. The deeply discounted furniture and mattress retailer has gone from one small warehouse like shop in the Valley, to 2 full stores in Spokane in just a few short years. In fact I still remember mentioning both of the them on this site. Those stores can be found at 9818 E. Montgomery in Spokane Valley and 2915 N. Division at the base of the Division St. Hill.
And now, while technically under a slightly different name, they are taking their recipe for marketing furniture to North Idaho. This with the about to open Overstocked Mattress & Furniture coming soon to the Prairie Shopping Center, by the US 95 / Prairie Ave intersection in Hayden.
Overstocked Mattress & Furniture will occupy much of the space that was last used by a Hancock Fabrics store. From what I've heard another portion of the space will also become a Idaho State Liquor Store but more on that later.
The new store will open for business as a soft opening today ( Fri. Aug. 11th ) . They will also have a grand opening celebration on Aug. 18th . The store carries a bit of everything from couches , sectionals, full beds , recliners and of course mattresses. And largely because of their overstock business concept their merchandise is discounted and usually marked significantly less then the other furniture stores. And, on top of all of that Overstocked Mattress & Furniture is a locally owned and operated business.
Overstocked Mattress & Furniture will be open Mon-Sat. 10-7 and Sunday 12-5 . For more information about they're store find them on Facebook or visit their website at-

Large self storage operation to be built across from Valley Wal-Mart on Broadway
I'll admit there isn't too much exciting about self storage places. Sure they are a necessity for many and probably make a good profit for the business owner, but when it comes to getting posted on this site I tend to shy away as they're not big attention getters.
But this one I figured I should mention ahead of time as it will be quite large and built in an area with several big box retailers. This way we can hopefully curtail the rumors of other big businesses opening on the site....
Local developer Lanze Douglass is currently in the SEPA application phase to develop another location of his company's Secure It Self Storage at 15702-15722 E. Broadway Ave in Spokane Valley. This would be the site behind Numerica Credit Union and facing the shopping center with Wal-Mart / Dress Barn / Toys R Us, etc... .
This is the second new Secure-It Self Storage location currently under development as another in also in the works in North Spokane near the corner of Nevada & Magnesium . The new Spokane Valley location will be large and offer both indoor and outdoor storage spaces. In all the site will offer 600 storage units , a rental office and paved areas for RV storage.
The developer hopes to begin construction at the site as early as this fall or whenever he is able to pull permits for the land. The storage units would then likely open for business early in 2018, currently the comment period for SEPA application is open till the end of the business day on Aug 22nd.
Secure It Self Storage is actually a small local chain of self storage facilities. They already have 5 locations in the Spokane area and one in Tacoma. For more information on Secure It Self Storage visit their web site at-

Menchies Frozen Yogurt is coming to Spokane
Menchie's Frozen Yogurt is coming to our area! The chain which has been growing quickly since it's inception in 2007 is working on opening their first location in Spokane. They will occupy a space at the North Pointe Shopping Center, in what appears to be the spaces in-between Total Wine & More and Safeway.
This new location will be a franchise of the Encino,CA based chain of frozen yogurt stores. While it will be Spokane's first , it's far from the first. Menchie's operates over 540 locations with locations around the United States and far off lands like England, Kuwait, UAE and more. All of this expansion has come since the company's first store opened in California just a little more then 10 years ago. The company has even been highlighted on a past episode of the TV show Undercover Boss.
Menchie's Frozen Yogurt isn't too much different that all of the other frozen yogurt stores that now dot the landscape with a self service concept and plenty of toppings. However they do have a large selection of flavors that even includes low fat, low carb , sorbet and no sugar added options, check with the store however to see what flavors are currently available. They also sell custom frozen yogurt cakes great for birthdays and most any special occasion.
