The Spokane franchise of the HobbyTown USA chain has moved and is now open in a new larger and perhaps more noticeable location. But even with the move, the store is still in North Spokane and in fact just a short distance from their old location.
HobbyTown USA was located in a shopping center directly at The Y, but can now be found at 9632 N. Newport Hwy in the Northpointe Shopping Center. The new location at Northpointe has much more space for selling their merchandise which includes products for most any hobby including RC cars, gaming , model railroading and much much more. Also the store has a variety of science and educational products.
And as we mentioned HobbyTown USA sells products for gaming and has had a gaming area before but now with the new location the store has added a second in-store gaming area. One area for tabletop games and another for sitting games like Magic the Gathering.
This new store opened back in the middle of July and has since enjoyed much success at the new store. Store owner June Hobson even tells me that about half of the customers coming thru the front doors since the move, have been new to the store.
The new HobbyTown store also did create a few new jobs for Spokane. The business has hired on 4 new employees and is still hiring as of writing this.
HobbyTown USA is franchised chain of stores that was founded in the 1980's . This location is the only location in the Inland Northwest, however other stores can be found all around the nation in addition to online shopping on the companies web site.
