Spokane International Airport has opened its first restaurant in a series of Inland Northwest-based establishments that are planned to operate in the airport's expanded Concourse C gate area in the next year.

Aloha Vintage Mercantile LLC has reached full vendor capacity a month after opening its doors to the public at the Trent & Argonne Plaza, in Spokane Valley.

Just a month after opening, Fratello’s Inc., an Italian sandwich shop in Kendall Yards, has exceeded expectations. The shop has had lines wrapped around the block and the business is already operating at full capacity, says owner Lauren Blumenthal.
