Appleway dealerships become Autonation

Appleway Chevrolet and the other Appleway automotive dealerships along E. Sprague Ave. in Spokane Valley are some of the most well known places to buy a vehicle in the Greater Spokane Area. But in case you haven't heard via a large marketing campaign , Appleway has transformed into Autonation and all former Appleway dealerships are now operating under the new Autonation name.

Appleway has actually been a part of the Autonation network for some time even though the company choose now to change the name, Autonation is a national automotive retailer headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida . The company operates a total of 263 dealerships around the nation. The affiliation with Autonation also allows dealerships better buying power and in some cases a lower price then competitors.

Little or no impact is expected other then the name change as all former Appleway dealerships remain open, no new locations are planned and no layoffs have been reported as of this time.

The new Autonation Spokane car dealerships are-

Autonation Chevrolet 8500 E. Sprague Ave. Spokane Valley

Autonation Scion  8600 E. Sprague Ave. Spokane Valley

Autonation Audi 10006 E. Sprague Ave. Spokane Valley

Inland Northwest Booze News - July 3rd 2013

So much is going on business wise with the Spokane / Coeur d' Alene area's beer / wine / spirit industry that the only way to keep up is the put it all in one post, so here it is, the first ( and hopefully not the last ) Inland Northwest Booze News.

Sante

Quite a while ago I asked the Inland Northwest Business Watch Facebook followers what their favorite local restaurant was, and one of the responses that came up more then once was Sante. So it only makes cents that this mid size restaurant in Downtown Spokane would expand and add to it's menu.

Sante plans to open a bar in the restaurant called Sante Lounge , the new lounge will feature occupy a presently unused portion of the space and will sell primarily locally sourced drinks. A deli counter for a new lunch pick up option is also planned. The new offerings at Sante are expected to be complete by mid - summer.

Sante is located at 404 W. Main St. in the Liberty Building which is also home to the well known Auntie's Bookstore.

Golden Hills / Orilson Brewing

Craft brewery Golden Hills Brewing Co. , which is based at 12921 W. 17th Ave. in Airway Heights has changed it's name and re branded as Orilson Brewing Company.

The company also plans to ramp up it's beer production and is looking for new locations to place their beers on tap. Although the name and some marketing changes have occurred the beers at Orilson will remain the same.

MarQuee Lounge

With a 5 year run as a Downtown Spokane nightclub has now closed. The club's owners site the ending of the businesses lease as a reason for the closure.

The Marquee Lounge was located at 522 W. Riverside Ave.

Idaho Pour Authority

Idaho Pour Authority officially opened in Downtown Sandpoint in the spring and has been getting noticed ever since. Idaho Pour Authority is a full service beer store of sorts. The business features beer on tap as well as growlers and growler filling.

But the tap is not the only business at Idaho Pour Authority as the business features a large retail beer selection with craft beers from around the local region to around the world.

Idaho Pour Authority is located in Downtown Sandpoint at 203 Cedar St.

Twilight Cider Works

Beer is everywhere in Spokane and Coeur d' Alene with new microbreweries popping up almost as fast as coffee drive ups these day's. But the hard cider scene in Spokane , while not non existent , is not near as big. So it's big news that a new cidery , called Twilight Cider Works , is now open at Green Bluff just north of Spokane.

The new hard cider business plans to sell it's cider's bottled at stores around the Inland Northwest but also features a new tasting room at Green Bluff, the tasting room is located at Twilight's facilities at 18102 N. Day Mt. Spokane Rd.

Geno's

As mentioned on the Inland Northwest Business Watch Facebook page, a large fire ripped thru the back end of the popular Gonzaga area restaurant and bar , Geno's.

The fire has closed the restaurant , but owners now say they hope to re-open in about 1 month.

Geno's is located at 1414 N. Hamiliton Ave. in Spokane.

Perry St. Brewing Co.

Perhaps the biggest news on this post is the official announcement of the new Perry St. Brewing Co. which is expected to open sometime this fall in Spokane's booming South Perry District.

The Perry St. Brewing Co. is opening a new building that is now under construction at the corner of S. Perry St. and 11th St. . The building and the brewery are relatively small, coming in with around 5,000 square feet , but are one of the most talked about new craft breweries opening in the area.

The brewery is owned by Ben and Christy Lukes and Ben once worked for the Missoula,Montana based Big Sky Brewing Co. .

The new building that Perry St. Brewing Co. will occupy also has some additional office space, that is currently still available and will not be used by the brewery. Completion of the building itself is planned for September.

Hopped Up Brewing Co.

Hopped Up Brewing Co. will soon be the newest microbrewery to open in Spokane. Well, actually Spokane Valley. Hopped Up Brewing is located in the former IHOP restaurant space at 10421 E. Sprague Ave.

The craft brewery features an on site tap room, according to the Washington Beer Blog , Hopped Up uses much of the same equipment that Northern Lights ( now No-Li Brewing Co. ) once used when they we're located in Airway Heights ( No-Li is now located nearby Downtown Spokane).

Hopped Up Brewing Co. will officially open to the public on June 12th.

Nu Home Brew & Bottles

Nu Home Brew & Bottles is a new retail beer store that will sell both bottles of beer and growlers.

As of last check Nu Home is remodeling their store space for a opening in the near future. Nu Home Brew & Bottles is located in Spokane Valley at 14109 E. Sprague Ave Suite 8.

The XP Bar & Grill

We know only a little of the plan for this new Spokane bar. However XP Bar & Grill is planned to be a gamer themed bar.

As of the time of this post we are working on getting info on this proposed bar.

Big changes for Launchpad INW

Big things are happening at Launchpad INW ,for those who may not be familiar with Launchpad INW, The business/ web site is a Spokane based operation that was Spokane's first online professional business networking community. At one time Launchpad INW operated a website , a co working space and even had a special segment on KHQ's Invest Northwest TV show called Launch Spokane.

But overtime the site and business have gone somewhat by the wayside. Both of the owners of the site have moved on to other employment with large local firm's. But a recent e-mail to members has uncovered a new plan for Launchpad INW.

Last Friday was the last day online for the former web site and now, with thanks too local web site developer Zipline Interactive, the website will re launch as an online local news source for " innovation , leadership and entrepreneurship " . The site will use the wordpress blogging format.

The new site is set to be live now and will also include a weekly e-mail newsletter called Launchpad News.

For more info on Launchpad INW visit their web site at-

www.launchpadinw.com

Note: Although our formats and goals are now similar, Inland Northwest Business Watch is in no way affiliated with Launchpad. We at INBW are not here to compete only to inform the Spokane area on local business happenings.

Construction at former Burgan's Furniture building to begin soon.

After 5 years of waiting for a more prime local economy, and planning out the best uses, Spokane businessman Gerald Dicker is ready. Ready to begin construction on a massive remodel of the former Burgan's Furniture store and warehouse on Division St just blocks north of Downtown Spokane.

Dicker, who is well known in the Spokane business community due to other developments acquired the large vacant building in 2008 and at one time even considered moving forward with a plan for a large hotel on the site. Plans for the hotel have since gone by the wayside. No doubt in part due to Walt Worthy's massive hotel tower project proposed for the parking lot across from the INB Performing Arts Center nearby.

Construction work at the former furniture store site is expected to begin within 2 months and cost between 9 and 12 million dollars to complete. A tentative completion date is set for the Summer of 2014.

The remodeling project will transform the building into 46 1 bedroom apartment units in the upper floors and a ground floor commercial area with 2 restaurant spaces and another space for a retail tenant. Also the project will have a conference area, meeting rooms and a fitness center. The apartments will be geared towards and extended stay for corporate and other's who may be around to long for a hotel but not long enough for a full residence.

The project is located along N. Division in between Division and Ruby and just south of Boone Ave. The project is actually made up of 2 buildings that we're both once used by Burgan's Furniture, a skyway will connect the 2 buildings and the remainder of the block will be filled by parking for the site.
