Dallas and Ellen Lightner and Ryan Towner, all of Spokane, have bought the assets of Fusion Juice of Spokane Inc.

They plan to operate the independent restaurant in the James S. Black Building, at 107 S. Howard, as Spokane Fusion LLC. The restaurant occupies 800 square feet of leased space on the main floor of the building.

Towner and Dallas Lightner are commercial real estate brokers with NAI Black, and their offices are on the fifth floor of the same building.

They represented themselves as the buyers of the business. Bryan Walker, James S. Black III, and Chris Bell, all of NAI Black, represented the seller, Ronald McCullough.

The restaurant has been operating for about a decade, Towner says.

Spokane Fusion will continue to specialize in smoothies and juice, as well as sandwiches, wraps, and baked goods, he says.

“We want to keep it simple and make it easy on people with good, fresh food that’s going to be quick,” Towner says.

The restaurant has three employees.

The small café has seating at three island tables, some window seating, and some outside seating, he says.
