This past Spring, one the Inland Northwest's most popular nightclub's, Big Al's Country Club of State Line,ID shut it's doors for the final time. We've never heard the official reasoning for the closure but have heard of both health issues and even that the business was losing money due to alcoholism from a owner of the business.
But after a Summer season of the big red bar sitting empty it looks like there soon will be new life for the well positioned club.
Signs are up now confirming that where Big Al's once was, will so be, Jeremy's Nashville North. Nashville North is a new country themed night club that should open sometime in October. The business has been purchased and will be operated by Country music recording artist Jeremy McComb .
McComb , who's own country music career began in the State Line bar, plans to continue much of what Big Al's offered. The new bar also promises to bring performances from " top notch Nashville Talent " . The business will also be hiring an unspecified amount of new staff for a full experience.
Nashville North will be more then just a bar, as the business is planning to also offer some food. The bar will partner with a Coeur d' Alene based BBQ business called Bohica Smoke to bring some food options in addition to the bar.
Nashville North mentions they will announce their official opening day sometime this week via their Facebook page. To follow along, and for more information on this exciting new nightclub find them at-

Something's in store for the Hot Rod Cafe space?!?
Looks like something is finally in store for the building that once housed the Hot Rod Café on Schneidmiller Ave. in Post Falls.
Spokane based design firm, HDG Hissong + Hurtado Design says they are planning a major renovation and a new business is coming to the space. But as of now their exact plans are very vague. All they do say is that the new space will be "badass" and " exactly what we have needed in this town for the last 20 years"
We will continue to watch for any news as this could be one of the biggest new business stories of the year.
You can watch along for news, and all of the other excellent projects from HDG Hissong + Hurtado Design find them via the links below-

Terrain seeks permanent home, will launch "The Campaign for Terrain"
Terrain is Spokane's, and the entire Northwest's largest art exhibition. The event began only a few years ago and has now grown to attract thousands each time. The event allows guests to take in the hundreds of pieces of art in a interesting and historic vacant building. Terrain has in fact gotten big enough to spin off a sister event called Bazaar which is more of an arts marketplace.
But the organizers behind Terrain are ready to take their passion for art to the next level. By giving Terrain a permanent home, still in Downtown Spokane. The plans call for a new non-profit art gallery and performing arts space that could be open, even on a daily basis.
And just where will this new Terrain space be? Although I don't have confirmation a recent promo e-mail mentions that space where the Terrain 7 event will be, will also be their new home. The event, and apparently their future home will be at 304 W. Pacific Ave in a historic section of Downtown Spokane that's recently became home to several other creative businesses. The building was once the warehouse for a cracker company but has sat vacant in more recent history.
To accomplish the move from art event to permanent art space, Terrain is launching a new fundraising drive called The Campaign for Terrain . The fundraising drive itself will launch next month, however some info can already be obtained on their web site-
www.terrainspokane.com
I highly encourage everyone's support of the new drive by Terrain. Spokane's art community is a very passionate group who are growing. Such a local venue would be a huge asset to the community.
Also, as mentioned before the next Terrain event is coming up soon. Terrain 7 will take place at 304 W. Pacific on Friday, October 3rd 2014 from 5pm till Midnight. The Terrain 7 event will feature 255 artworks from 142 artist and with the entertainment of live music from 10 bands.
For more information on Terrain 7 visit the terrainspokane.com web site or this event page on Facebook-

Building Permit Watch: Sept. 23rd 2014 (Is Buffalo Wild Wings coming to Northtown? )
Late last week I was doing research for this blog on the City of Spokane's building permit "citizen portal ". And while I don't usually post by building permit alone ( because these items cannot be confirmed to be actually coming ) there is a LOT happening right now so I just had to mention a few.
Here is what may or may not be the big business news stories based on current building permits and / or "pre-development conferences".
* Rite Aid moving to a stand alone building near by Franklin Park Commons?
*Another mixed use building at Kendall Yards ?
*A second Father Bach Haven apartment building? ( Address on this listing is on Short St. )
*Buffalo Wild Wings at Northtown Mall? ( Just a pre-development conf. . no permit yet. However this has been a long time rumor so I'd almost take this as confirmation)
* Whiz Kids moving within River Park Square? ( If true what will take Whiz Kids place? )
Also, while not confirmed by the City of Spokane building permits I have confirmed that Northtown Mall will soon be home to a Get Air trampoline park. A chain operation that also has a location in the Tri-Cities. Although the ownership of the Tri-Cities location will not own the Spokane location.
Even though this is confirmed we don't have the exact location within the mall, an opening date or really any info. So keep watching for that....

Hacienda Las Flores moving to Browne's Addition
This morning I posted the latest new restaurant openings around Spokane / Coeur d' Alene. But in the rush to get that post out I totally forgot one of the biggest local resturant news items.
That is, that Hacienda Las Flores, a well known local Mexican restaurant is moving out of their location in the East Central Neighborhood for a long vacant building in the Browne's Addition.
The new Hacienda Las Flores location is now open in the former Sunset Junction bar building at 1801 W. Sunset Blvd. and is now the first and only dine in Mexican restaurant in Browne's Addition . The former restaurant location was at 510 S. Freya nearby the Thor Ave. Fred Meyer store east of Downtown Spokane.
We don't have any confirmed details on what may happen to the former location on Freya. However we have heard that the Wake Up Call coffee chain may be planning a new location of their own on or very close to that site. We have asked about this and will post more on that as soon as I know.
Hacienda Las Flores is a full service Mexican restaurant with lunch and dinner menu items. In addition to a full bar that makes an extensive drink menu. A happy hour and a long line of specials are also available.
The Restaurant is locally owned and operated and more information on the business can be found on their web site at-

Taco Bell will be opening a new restaurant in Deer Park soon. The new location will be on S. Main just north Double Eagle Pawn ( 800 Blk. ).

Watch for more on this possible new Logan neighborhood Subway.

More new businesses opening at Coeur d' Alene Resort Plaza Shops
I think it's time to chock up one more success story for the brokers and agents of Kimele & Hagood Company as they've re-filled the empty storefronts of the Coeur d' Alene Resort Plaza Shops.
The Coeur d' Alene Resort Plaza Shops is a small but well positioned enclosed shopping center in the heart of Downtown Coeur d' Alene. And it doesn't get much more "prime" in terms of prime real estate with the mall being attached by skywalk and sidewalk to the Coeur d' Alene Resort itself.
So because of that it's seemed a bit odd seeing the mall sitting half empty for most of the summer tourist season. But all that is now almost over with one recent opening and three more businesses opening soon there.
Here are the details on what businesses are coming soon to the Coeur d' Alene Resort Plaza Shops-
One Good Thread
One Good Thread is retail store version of the onegoodthread.com web site. The web site is based in Downtown Spokane and was originally purposed for a location on Third Ave. in Spokane, where the companies offices and warehouse are also located.
The One Good Thread retail store is located in the former paper and gift shop space near the Sherman Ave. entrance.
The new store sells much of what can be found on the onegoodthread.com web site. Including mid to high end children's clothing with many brands that can be hard to find elsewhere.
One Good Thread is now open.
Chamira
We don't have as much information on Chamira other then it will be a women's clothing boutique. The business will be further into the shopping center in the former Painted Pony space.
Climb Works
Climb Works is not a new business but is new to Coeur d' Alene. Climb Works is small chain of zip line tour businesses with a store front to sell their zip line tours and some other merchandise.
The exciting aspect of Climb Works is the new location will be their because the company is setting up a zip line route somewhere in the local area soon. We hope to get more on this.
Climb Works will open their store towards the interior of the Coeur d' Alene Resort Plaza Shops taking the former Smitten clothing boutique space.
Memory Lane Gems
Speaking of local business success stories, Memory Lane Gems, is a new second location of Memory Lane in Silver Lake Mall. The business was originally a part of Widgett's Antiques and formed into their own antique shop in the North Coeur d' Alene mall.
Memory Lane Gems will be much like the Memory Lane Antiques store in the mall. Selling a bit of everything vintage.
Memory Lane Gems will take over the former Gentlemen's Corner shop in the center block of the Coeur d' Alene Resort Plaza Shops.
What is going on with Splash?
Splash was bar / dance club that was owned by the Resort and located in the front section of the Resort Plaza Shops right along Sherman Ave. . However it closed a couple of months ago following issues with selling drinks to minors.
Today that high profile space is believed to still be empty. We have no confirmation but believe the Coeur d' Alene Resort is planning a new business in the space.
It's that new business that is the question. I have heard of both a taphouse style bar and steakhouse planned for the site. We do think something is coming soon and will update everyone as soon as I know.
If you can confirm plans for the former Splash club please contact me, Matt at inlandbusiness@yahoo.com
The Coeur d' Alene Resort Plaza Shops is a small but well positioned enclosed shopping center in the heart of Downtown Coeur d' Alene. And it doesn't get much more "prime" in terms of prime real estate with the mall being attached by skywalk and sidewalk to the Coeur d' Alene Resort itself.
So because of that it's seemed a bit odd seeing the mall sitting half empty for most of the summer tourist season. But all that is now almost over with one recent opening and three more businesses opening soon there.
Here are the details on what businesses are coming soon to the Coeur d' Alene Resort Plaza Shops-
One Good Thread
One Good Thread is retail store version of the onegoodthread.com web site. The web site is based in Downtown Spokane and was originally purposed for a location on Third Ave. in Spokane, where the companies offices and warehouse are also located.
The One Good Thread retail store is located in the former paper and gift shop space near the Sherman Ave. entrance.
The new store sells much of what can be found on the onegoodthread.com web site. Including mid to high end children's clothing with many brands that can be hard to find elsewhere.
One Good Thread is now open.
Chamira
We don't have as much information on Chamira other then it will be a women's clothing boutique. The business will be further into the shopping center in the former Painted Pony space.

Downtown Spokane's Globe Hotel building sold, renovations coming
The Globe Building, historically home to the Globe Hotel, and more recently home to the Globe Bar & Grille has a new owner and like a lot of other Downtown buildings right now, a lot big things are coming soon.
The Globe Hotel building is located on the eastern edge of Downtown Spokane at the corner of Main and N. Division ( 211 N. Division ). The building has sat empty since the former bar's closure in later 2012 but all of that will soon change.
The building has been sold to local real estate investors,Kevin Edwards, Mark D’Agostino and John Pariseau operating as Globe Building Partners,LLC . The plans are currently a little vague but are still coming soon.
The ground floor will remain for commercial uses and will defiantly contain some sort of bar as a liquor license application has already been filed. We have heard some of the space may become retail and have also heard that the neighboring Blind Buck bar may expand into some of the Globe's space.
We are expecting to learn more on these plans very soon.
The upper two floors of the Globe Building will also be completely renovated and re-opened. Those plans are also vague with those floors becoming either office space or new apartments. But no mention of how many apartments, offices or news on potential tenants. The upper floors of the Globe Building have been vacant for many years.

Renovations complete at The Bickett in Downtown Spokane, New apartments/ retail space created
Rarely do I get as excited about a new building or renovation project in Spokane as I am about The Bickett . But I admit I'm geeking out a bit about this revivement of piece of Spokane history.
The Bickett is a historic former hotel building on the eastern edge of Downtown Spokane. The building's address is 225 W. Riverside and was built in the early 1900's. The building has been completely redone on all three floors.
The ground floor which faces out onto Riverside has been renovated into new commercial storefront space, perfect for retail businesses. The space is being leased out as two bays, both with 1,800 square feet of space. Currently there are no new tenants moving into that space but expect the spaces to fill fast with the prime Downtown location.
The upper two floors of The Bickett have been turned into loft style apartments. The upper floors hold eight apartments with varying sizes and rents. The apartments at The Bickett however have turned out to be a good asset, because as of last update the building has apparently already leased all but one of those lofts. Watch their Facebook page for more info, a link to that is at the bottom of this posting.
The Bickett project was done by locally based developer Jed Conklin and the building itself was formerly among the real estate holding of Developer Rob Brewster who defaulted on his many local properties a couple of years ago, most of those we're Downtown and many have also now been sold.
Here are some pictures of The Bickett from their Facebook page ( link below )-

Dawn of the Donut to close for good
From the "didn't see that one coming" department, Dawn of the Donut, a popular Zombie themed donut shop on Division St. in-between Downtown and the Northtown Mall (3402 N. Division ) announced they will go out of business permanently.
The businesses last day of operation will be next week, Sept. 14th to be exact. The store is up for sale and may be able to be saved if a buyer comes forward.
The closure is for both the store and the Dawn of the Donut food truck which has been around town for the last several months. It's also noteworthy that the business as a whole is actually still new, opening about this time of year, last year. The grand opening their was meet with long lines and many local media mentions.
The closure was announced with this post on the Dawn of the Donut Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/dawnofthedonutzombie ) -
We have sad news Spokane. Dawn of the Donut is closing our doors on Sunday September 14. Please come in and get your favorite deluxe donuts while you can over the next week plus, before they are gone. Thank you to all our fans and loyal customers.

The Growler Guys now open in North Spokane, South Hill store still coming
In addition to tracking new local businesses, another interest of mine is craft and local beers. So, I think it's great news that the first of what will soon be two Growler Guys locations in Spokane is now open.
The first local location of The Growler Guys chain is the location in North Spokane. That location is in a Heritage Village Shopping Center close by The Y at 9329 N. Newport Hwy. The new store is creating an interesting corridor of beer with Total Wine & More and Pints Alehouse, both huge supporters of the Spokane beer scene within a mile of each other on the same arterial roadway.
The North Spokane Growler Guys is in more then 1,500 square feet of space and sells and fills growlers of beer. In fact that's the main base behind the chain's stores. The chain is based in Oregon and is growing chain with nine locations around the Northwest and more coming soon.
Growler Guys stores are also gaining a name for themselves by the amount of beer taps available. Growler Guys locations have around 50 beers on tap, including the new North Spokane location who's web site currently list 48 taps from the common to the more difficult to find beers. And, yes plenty of beers from Spokane based microbreweries.
Also, shortly after the news came out that Growler Guys was coming to North Spokane, was a mention of another coming to the South Hill. That location was to be at 2933 E. 29th, but the liquor license there was fought by the nearby Southside Christian Center church. The chain backed out of that location due to the church's opinion .
But now The Growler Guys has found a new location on the South Hill and WILL be opening soon. The new South Hill Growler Guys will be similar to the others and will be at 1314 S. Grand Ave. Suite 4. That's nearby the new South Hill AAA offices and a short trip down the hill from Manito Tap House. We don't have an opening date for the South Hill store yet but will be watching for it closely.
For more information on The Growler Guys visit their web site at-

New renderings from INSIDE the Grand Hotel Spokane, including a possible new resturant coming.
We've pretty much all seen the renderings of the outside of the new Grand Hotel Spokane from this site, and pretty much every other Spokane area media outlet. In fact most have probably seen the massive building actually raising rapidly Downtown.
But now we've also spotted some renderings of what the Grand Hotel Spokane may look like from the inside. These are not a sure thing, but they we're recently posted on the project designer's Facebook page.
That designer is Eric Hedlund Design,LLC , a Coeur d' Alene based design firm that's building quite a name for itself in recent months. For more information on Eric Hedlund Design and to comment on these please check their page at- https://www.facebook.com/pages/eric-hedlund-design-llc/119175631438452
And find them online at - www.eh-design.net
Here are those renderings-
(Above photo is described as the Fireplace Lounge )
(Above photo is described as the pre-function gallery )
A new restaurant coming to The Grand Hotel Spokane?
We do know that the new hotel will include some commercial space,for restaurants and other commercial ventures. The Eric Hedlund Design,LLC Facebook page also has renderings of a new restaurant called Table 13 coming to Spokane in 2015.
Despite asking about this we have not received a comment as to if this new restaurant is, in fact, going to be in the Grand Hotel Spokane. Regardless here is a photo as I would guess that they will be in the hotel given the opening and look of the space.
In case you haven't seen the rendering of the outside or are looking to get more info on the Grand Hotel Spokane. Check this prior INBW posting-

Or find the Grand Hotel Spokane's web site at-

The hotel will be part of the Marriott hotel chain and will open next year. More to come...
