Not long ago the small strip mall, by the corner of Hwy 41 and Vera St in Rathdrum (15580 N. Vera St.) and aptly named Rathdrum Plaza was part car wash, with car wash bays filling the southern end of the building next to the Dairy Queen restaurant. But those spaces we're recently renovated to be storefronts of their own and like many North Idaho commercial properties, they didn't last long as new businesses are already starting to open their doors there.
In the most southerly storefront is now 208 Clothing + Gift , this locally owned and operated business might sound somewhat familiar as this is the first brick and mortar type of location for 208 Tees. The business is a custom tee shirt printing operation that has sold locally inspired and other apparel at a variety of events and via their website. 208 Clothing + Gift is now open and sells clothing and an array of gifts from regional artists and other local businesses. For more information, check their website at http://208tees.com
Next door to 208 is a new coffee shop that is also now open for business, called Bean & Bubb Coffee. Bean & Bubb Coffee is a local woman owned establishment. The menu consists of coffee, Red Bull and Lotus energy drinks, a handful of flavors of bubble teas, chai, Revival teas and lemonades.
