Local Market stores do sell Chevron branded gas, but they are also a lot more than a typical gas station. The local owner opened their first store a couple years ago at the corner of Atlas & Seltice in Coeur d' Alene and recently broke ground for a new location, this time in Post Falls. This store will be larger than the original and will be the first of what will likely be a few new stores. Another store is also in the planning phase at 15th & Best in Coeur d' Alene and they are still actively seeking 1-7 acre lots for sale in Spokane or North Idaho for future stores.
The new Post Falls Local Market will be at the corner of Hwy. 41 and Hope Ave. and will likely open next year. This store will be about 25% larger than the first location and the owners describe the location as upscale with an espresso coffee shop and a San Francisco Sourdough restaurant location inside. The Local Market also offers a high-quality deli with fresh made breakfast sandwiches and fresh smash burgers using culinary grade ingredients which is not always found at other convivence store chains.
They also point out that many of the store items at Local Market are healthy and higher quality. Selling everything from Icelandic water in glass bottles, healthy sodas like Poppi and Olipop, and snacks like Siete chips made with avocado oil rather than traditional seed oils. They also offer a selection of cold pressed juices, craft beers, and locally sourced ice creams. The new Post Falls location will also offer a larger grocery and wine selection to cater to the large number of new residents moving into the area along Hwy. 41 on the eastern edge of Post Falls.
