The Copa
The Copa, a upscale restaurant and bar that had been located at 9265 N. Government Way in Hayden has closed. The Copa lost a lot of it's business from bad publicity created when the owner former Idaho State Senator Mike Jorgenson was accused of assault against a employee of the restaurant.
Rumors have surfaced however of a re-opening, probably by another owner but no word as of yet.
Hayden Cinema 6
It's probably one of the saddest business closings I've had to report but the Hayden Cinema 6 which was in the Prairie Shopping Center off of Prairie Ave. in Hayden has gone out of business.
The cinema's last show was during the last weekend in April and the Hayden Cinema 6 was one of the last independent locally owned and operated movie theaters in the Spokane / Coeur d' Alene area,especially showing first run films.
Hayden Cinema 6 is not expected to re-open and no word as of yet as to what will happen to it's large anchor space in the shopping center.
Hayden Corner Store
The Hayden Corner Store opened at the beginning of May at the corner of 4th St. and Prairie Ave. in Hayden. The new shop is in a way a mix of several businesses with deli, wine shop area and convenience store area
IRS
While it may sound like good news that the IRS is going out of business, it's not. The Internal Revenue Service is planning on closing it's Coeur d' Alene office and merging local area IRS operations into the office in Spokane.
The Coeur d' Alene IRS office had been located in the 1200 Ironwood Dr. office building that once also housed the Idaho Dept. of Labor which has since moved into it's own building in Post Falls.

After 27 years of occupying the same retail space inside the main entryway to the Coeur d' Alene Resort, Coeur d' Alene Galleries Art Gallery has relocated and is now in a larger location directly on E. Sherman Ave.
Coeur d' Alene Galleries is now open in the former JAMMS Frozen Yogurt space at 213 E. Sherman Ave. . The Gallery features a variety of Art with a major focus on western art.
