Print company here adds digital printer


Lithograph Reproductions Inc., of Spokane Valley, has purchased its first digital Xerox color printer, bringing the company's total printer count to four.

The 20-foot-by-8 foot printer also doubles as a booklet maker and can either collate or saddle stitch up to 15 pages of 11-inch-by-17-inch paper, manager Jack Green says. He declines to disclose the cost of the printer.

Lithograph Reproductions acquired a $280,000 four-color Komori brand press four years ago, Green says. The company also uses another four-color Komori press and a two-color Komori press.

The company decided to pursue digital printing because the market is trending toward digital, Green says. The digital printer also enables the company to do smaller jobs economically for clients who might be working on a tight budget, he says.

Jack Green's father, Lloyd Green, founded Lithograph Reproductions in 1974 and retired 12 years ago, although he still owns the company. Seven employees work in the 60,000-square-foot facility the company owns at 17323 E. Trent.

Lithograph Reproductions is a trade shop that relies on smaller print shops and brokers for business. It specializes in bindery, pre-press, and graphic design work.



Valley dentist opens East Central branch


Grins & Giggles Family Dentistry LLC has opened a branch office in 900 square feet of recently remodeled space in the East Central Community Center, at 500 S. Stone.

Grins & Giggles offers a variety of dental services, including cleanings, fillings, extractions, fluoride treatments, and dental composites. Its main office is located in a 1,200-square-foot space at 10814 E. Broadway, in Spokane Valley.

Its owner and primary dentist, Dr. Mostafa Kabbani, decided to open an additional location because he wanted to establish a clinic that focused specifically on children, dental assistant Jen Staker says. His Valley practice includes a mix of young and adult patients, she says.

Spokane builder Dasily Pereosky and Kubbani together remodeled the leased space. The remodeling work cost about $85,000, Staker says.

The four employees from the Spokane Valley location, including Kabbani, will split time between the two locations, Staker says.



PT practice opens in RiverBank building


Seattle, Wash.-based Therapeutic Associates Inc. has opened a branch office under the name Spokane Physical Therapy on the main floor of the RiverBank building, at 202 E. Spokane Falls Blvd. in Spokane's University District.

The branch, located in a remodeled 2,000-square-foot space, is Therapeutic Associates' sixth outlet in the Spokane and North Idaho areas.

Spokane Physical Therapy provides a number of services, including injury prevention, manual therapy, sports rehabilitation, balance rehabilitation, and custom orthotics.

"Our strength lies in the ability to assess, treat, educate, and help our patients return to full function as quickly and effectively as possible," says Bill Olson, a certified manual therapist, who is the director of the branch. Olson previously worked for three years at Olympic Physical Therapy, in Seattle, and also has worked with the U.S. Olympic ski team.

One full-time employee assists Olson at the new location.


Adult day care center moves to larger space


All Families Adult Day Care Corp., which does business as Adult Day Care Spokane, has moved to a leased 1,500-square-foot space in the Fairwood Center, at 12020 N. Mill Road north of Spokane, from a smaller space at 13111 N. Boston in Mead.

All Families signed an eight-year lease for its new space, which it said in a press release has nearly twice the square footage of its former location.

Its relocated facility includes an art room, a quiet room, and space for music, games, intergenerational activities, and family workshops. It says the move allows it to expand its services to the community to include elder camps, camps for adults with special needs, respite care for caregivers, a support group for caregivers that meets monthly, and a once-a-month tea for elders, offered at no charge.

Renee Rinderknecht is administrative director of the facility, which also employs five other people.


WineStyles outlet on Indian Trail closes


The three-year-old WineStyles franchise store in northwest Spokane closed at the end of last month.

The wine outlet, owned and operated by Mike McMahan and other family members through McMahon Wines LLC, of Spokane, occupied a 1,750-square-foot leased space at 8801 N. Indian Trail, in the Sundance Plaza shopping center. It was a franchisee of WineStyles Inc., in Margate, Fla.

The store sold retail wine, accessories, and gift items, and featured a tasting room where it held regular tastings.

McMahan says a lack of customers and the store's location were among factors that contributed to its closure. He says family members plan to continue operating another enterprise, Buzz Stop Espresso, which they've owned since 1998 and does business as Urban Blends in the Northtown Mall.


European-style cafe opens on west First

A European-themed cafe, Luxe Coffeehouse, has opened at 1017 W. First downtown, in the leased 500-square-foot main floor underneath what was formerly Ella's Supper Club.

Crandall owns Luxe with Greg and Mary Walmsley and Tamara Mason, all of Spokane. Mason also owns Lush Salon, in downtown Spokane, and Greg Walmsley is the CEO of Oxarc Inc., of Spokane.
