Manito Super 1 Foods Inc., a Spokane company owned by Hayden-based, father-and-son grocers Ron and Randy McIntire, is constructing a supermarket in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, it 12th overall.

The project cost will total about $10 million, including land acquisition, construction, equipment, furnishings, and inventory, and the Super 1 Foods store will employ about 85 people when it opens in June, the owners say.

The store will be located on 5 acres of land on the west side of U.S. 95 in the south part of Bonners Ferry, about 75 miles north of Coeur d'Alene.

B.F. Builders Inc., of Bonners Ferry, is the contractor on the project, and Nystrom Olson Architecture, of Spokane, designed it. URM Stores Inc., the Spokane-based grocery cooperative, is managing the project through its development arm, Randy McIntire says.

The store will have large produce, seafood, and meat departments, as well as a natural-food section, a bakery, and a deli, McIntire says.

Manito Super 1 will select a manager for the store in March and hire a night crew to help stock it in April, he says, adding that the rest of the employees will be hired in mid-May through the Idaho Department of Labor Job Service office in Bonners Ferry.

Manito Super 1 operates 11 stores, including five in North Idaho and six in Montana. The North Idaho stores are in Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Post Falls, Rathdrum, and Sandpoint.

Ron McIntire was the original owner of a Super 1 Foods Store at 830 E. 29th in the Manito Shopping Center, on Spokane's South Hill. He sold that store to Spokane-based Rosauers Supermarkets Inc. in 1995.
