The Millworx urban living development in Post Falls has two new businesses that are expected to bring food and gathering experiences to the growing district.

A new artisan butcher, market, and restaurant, dubbed The Range Market, is anticipated to open this summer in the recently constructed North Yards at Millworx building at 949 E. Fourth. Separately, Barrel 33, a wine bar and restaurant, will be the first future tenant of a new mixed-use building under construction, named Silo Block North, which is expected to open in spring 2027.

“It seems like we’re finally picking up momentum on getting this identifiable downtown city center that’s walkable,” says Robert Jacobs, broker at Coldwell Banker Schneidmiller Realty. “You can come down, park, and go to a couple of different spots.”

Jacobs, who is representing Barrel 33, says urban developments like Milworx are helping shift commutes, as many residents have been known to travel to surrounding cities for restaurants and social outings.

“What this developer is giving us is a city center that’s got things to do here,” Jacobs says. “We don’t have to go to Coeur d’Alene or Spokane anymore. We can come have a nice time here in Post Falls.”

The Range Market is a full-service butcher, deli, and wine bar offering fresh-cut meats, made-to-order sandwiches, prepared foods, and a curated selection of retail items featuring space for guests to dine and gather. Upon completion, The Range Market will also have the capacity to host private dinners, live music, catering, and community events, including vendor markets and live music.

“We work with local chefs and vendors to host private dinners, starting once a month and potentially expanding to weekly,” says The Range Market co-owner Jay Wymer. “The dinners are ticketed, typically serving 20 to 40 people, with three- to five-course meals and changing menus.”

Wymer says the events are designed to highlight locally-sourced ingredients while creating a more interactive dining experience.

“It allows people to have a unique experience where they can be with others in the community, with more of a farm-style seating where people can get to know each other,” he explains. “We give people a space to not only purchase quality, nutritious goods that are made right here, but also to hang out and enjoy time with other people.”

The family-run business includes multiple generations as part of its ownership and day-to-day operations.

“My sister, my mom, my dad, we’re all business partners,” Wymer says. “We’ve been running family businesses for well over a decade.”

That foundation shapes the business model, which combines a butcher shop, restaurant, and retail space under one roof with a focus on in-house production and local sourcing.

“We’re really much more of a local co-op market,” Wymer says. “We make everything on-site, everything’s handmade, everything’s locally sourced.”

Tentatively, the market will operate from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the summer and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. throughout the rest of the year.

“We really want to do a lot of things for the community to come and gather and enjoy,” Wymer says. 

Wymer also pointed to the broader development taking place around the area.

“We thought that this was a really nice area. The growth is insane. It’s growing a lot, and all these new businesses right here in this development in Post Falls really puts us at the center of growth for the next five to 10 years,” he says.

The growth in Post Falls is also attracting more experiential dining concepts.

Barrel 33, which currently operates locations in Sandpoint, Idaho and Big Bear Lake, California, is expanding to Post Falls with a new space designed entirely from the ground up.

For Jacobs, of Coldwell Banker Schneidmiller Realty, the project stands out due to a blank-slate opportunity.

“It’s all on one level, and they’re building it from scratch, which is a really cool opportunity to come in and not work with an existing space,” Jacobs says.

The layout will have an emphasis on functionality and customer experience. As planned, the space will include a large central bar, a fireplace, and an open design intended to guide movement throughout the venue.

Barrel 33’s owners, Alayna and Manny Reichl, describe the concept as an “elevated chill” experience, blending curated wines, craft beer, and shareable food in a relaxed setting.

“At its core, Barrel 33 has always been about more than just what’s on the menu,” the couple says in a statement. “For us, it’s about creating a space where people can slow down, spend time together, and actually enjoy where they are.”

The Post Falls location will expand on Barrel 33's vision with a broader food program, retail offerings, and programming such as tastings and community events. The goal is to create a space that becomes part of customers’ regular routines rather than a one-time destination, Jacobs says.

Although the concepts differ, Jacobs adds that both new businesses are expected to complement each other within Millworx.

“If you like wine and you like good food, these are some interesting spots to check out,” he says. “They’re not limited to just one experience.”

As Millworx continues to develop, both The Range Market and Barrel 33 are expected to play a role in shaping how residents gather, dine, and spend time in the area. Together, the projects point to a broader demand for spaces that blend food, community, and experience in a single destination.
