It's official , Spokane Valley will get a new Total Wine & More store later this year. The Total Wine & More chain opening a store in the Valley has been on the radar from since last year when the chain opened it's only other location in the Spokane market. That store is now one of the highest selling liquor retailers in Spokane County and is located just north of The Y on Newport Hwy in the Northpointe Shopping Center in North Spokane.
Total Wine & More's Spokane Valley store will be a new construction building in the Evergreen Crossing shopping center which is just west of Spokane Valley Mall and while not fully completed, the shopping center is also home to major stores like Hobby Lobby, Great Floors ,Fred's Appliance and others. Total Wine & More's new building in the center will be at 13802 E. Indiana Ave. directly next to Great Floors and easily visible from I-90 near the Evergreen Rd. exit.
The new store will occupy 25,000 square feet of space and will employ around 40. The new store's location is strategic to attract customers from North Idaho who are looking for more selection. And once a state distribution tax is scaled back , the pricing in Washington will compete more evenly with stores in Kootenai County and elsewhere.
Selection is the name of the game for Total Wine & More. The Maryland based chain bills itself as America's Wine Superstore and while wine and wine tastings are big part of the business, the stores also feature full liquor selection a extensive beer selection with a growler filling station in store.
The new store is expected to open sometime in November, in time for the holiday season.

Black Sheep Sporting Goods moves to new home
Back in May we reported on the move of the Black Sheep Sporting Goods' outlet store to the large stand alone store building where Wholesale Sports once was next to Costco in Coeur d' Alene ( That post can be found here- http://www.inlandnwbusiness.com/2013/05/black-sheep-sporting-goods-opens-outlet.html ).
But the move of the outlet store was only temporary and apparently a place holder of sorts for the move of the entire Black Sheep Sporting Goods store into the space. Black Sheep is now open in the former Wholesale Sports location at 3534 N. Government Way by Costco and only a stone's throw east from the former store location off of Seale Dr facing US 95. The new store no longer faces US 95 but does have a good location on busy Government Way with lots of parking and close by to many other stores.
The new building is 47,000 square feet and is much newer then the stores former home. The new Black Sheep will continue to operate as the same locally owned and operated sporting goods store with merchandise ranging from hunting and fishing to marine needs to even firearm sales. Hours of operation for the store are Monday thru Saturday 9am - 7pm and Sunday 9am - 6pm.
A grand opening celebration is planned at the new Black Sheep Sporting Goods location on Government Way for Friday June 28th and Saturday June 29th. The celebration will feature prizes, games and specials thruout the store.
As far as what will happen to the old store location, signs are up now showing it as the new Black Sheep Sporting Goods outlet store. However the new outlet store is not open as of yet. And there is no word right now as to what will go into the currently empty space that at one time was the outlet store across the parking lot from the old store.

Lululemon Athletica to move it's Downtown Spokane store
Lululemon Athletica may have only opened their new Spokane retail showroom a few months ago but as luck would have it the business is already on the move. This time to a new , bigger and yet still Downtown storefront space.
Lululemon Athletica will move later this year to the ground floor of 707 W. Main Ave. ( Crescent Court building) in space occupied by Cues, a women's clothing store that has since closed.

The new store will give Lululemon more space and a more prominent location verses the companies current store at 117 N. Howard , The N. Howard St. store will stay open until the new location opens. No word as of yet as to when a grand opening or opening date might occur.

Broadwing Apartments going up in Liberty Lake
Earlier today on this site we posted about all the new apartment projects underway in Coeur d' Alene. But Coeur d' Alene is from being the only area in the Inland Northwest that's adding new multi-family housing. And one spot that's caught this business blogger's attention is the new Broadwing Apartments . Broadwing in now under construction in Liberty Lake, in fact buildings are up and inside work is well under way. The project is currently on track to begin leasing later this Summer or Fall.
Broadwing Apartments are being built on a new street called Spotted Owl Ln. which can be found directly next to the Talon Hills Senior Apartments off of Appleway on the town's far east side. The site is visible from Appleway and I-90,although it does take a bit of looking.
Broadwing is being built by Whitewater Creek Inc. , a development company located in Hayden that has constructed several other local apartment complexes. Whitewater Creek is also the company behind 2 other complexes that are all within a few 1000 feet of the Broadwing's site. Those complexes are the fore mentioned Talon Hills Senior Apartments and the First Liberty Apartments, a newer family apartment community directly on Appleway.
Broadwing , Like the other 2 will be income restricted and will be leased to families. To qualify for an apartment one must not make over a certain amount in income and rental rates are set on what one makes.
50 apartments will be included in the new complex and 1 , 2 and 3 bedroom units will be available. Because the complex is not yet open contact info for leasing is also not available, however some info may be able to obtained via First Liberty Aparments, their web site is-

Carrington Place at the Landings, new apartments coming to Coeur d' Alene

The complex goes by the name Carrington Place At The Landings and is located along Carrington Drive in The Landings residential development along Prairie Ave. in between Atlas and Huetter Roads on the north side of the city.
Carrington Place is being developed by The Land Co. a locally based real estate development firm and leasing of the rental units will be done by Resort Property Management, also of Coeur d' Alene. Contact info for leasing is available at the end of this post or of the complexes web site, also listed below.
Once fully built out the project will include 132 apartments built in 22 separate 6 unit buildings.

Also in phase 1 will be a community club house that will feature over 2,000 square feet of space with a rec. area, on site manager's office, work out room and a kitchen.

The Q at Northern Quest Casino to become Epic Sports Resturant?
This is a follow up to previous post here on Inland Northwest Business Watch. A couple of months back we reported on the remodeling of Northern Quest Casino's The Q Sports Bar and now that remodel is nearing it's completion.
But we have also received info that The Q will no longer be The Q, instead the bar and restaurant will be called Epic Sports Restaurant . Also the former studio area of the establishment will become Studio E.
Although it's very short notice the Casino and Spokane radio station Rock 94.5 will host a sneak peak of the new Epic and Studio E tonight from 5:30 till 7:30. More on that sneak peak can be found here-
http://tweetvite.com/event/EPICSpo
For more on the remodel of The Q / Epic at Northern Quest Casino below is the original post from May 13th 2013-
If you've visited Northern Quest Casino lately you may have noticed the signage near The Q Sports Bar stating that "something epic is coming" . But what exactly is coming? Turns out the something epic is a sizable re-model of the well known sports themed bar and restaurant.
Construction crews are already busy working in the business and if all goes as planned the new pieces of the The Q will be ready in time for a grand opening sometime in June . The remodel will include...
-Remodeled booth and bar areas.
-Upgraded seating with additional semi-private dining.
-Newly renovated event spaces.
-New menu options
and probably the biggest change will be a new private entry from The Q to the Legends of Fire Cigar Bar which is located in space on the 2nd floor of the casino almost directly above The Q.
The Q inside Northern Quest has made a name for itself as one of the largest sports bars in the Spokane area and for having one of the largest TVs in the area at 106". The huge TV is able to able to stream up to 7 different sports stations at one time.
The Q is located by the parking lot entry to the Casino at Northern Quest Casino. Northern Quest is located at 100 N. Hayford Rd. in Airway Heights.
