A site on Division Street formerly occupied by The White Elephant could be transformed
into a Panda Express restaurant, according to a preliminary application filed with the
city.

H.C. Klover Architect, of Lenexa, Kansas, filed the application on behalf of Panda
Express Inc. to change use of the site at 1730 N. Division St. from retail to a restaurant
with indoor and outdoor seating, in addition to a drive-thru.

The project is estimated to cost $750,000, according to the application.

Panda Express was founded in 1983 in Glendale, California. The restaurant chain has
grown to more than 2,200 locations nationwide. It has 11 locations in the Spokane area
and one in Post Falls.

Construction is estimated to start in July, according to documents filed with the city.

White Elephant closed its Division Street and Spokane Valley stores in July after more
than 74 years of operation.

$6 million Kenworth facility in Post Falls

The truck manufacturer Kenworth applied in November for a permit to build a $6
million facility in Post Falls.

The facility is slated to span 32,000 square feet and be located at 4374 W. Expo Parkway.
It will offer parts, sales, service, leasing and a body shop, according to a company
spokesperson.

The company currently operates a facility in a Spokane Valley and is also planning a $20
million project on the West Plains.

The Post Falls planning department is in the process of reviewing the company’s site plan

STCU to in
         remodel Wall Street location
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA Document 566-22 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/07/2023 Page 4 of 4
STCU intends to remodel its second-floor downtown branch at 207 N. Wall St.

While work is underway, the credit union will close for about six weeks starting Jan. 11,
according to STCU spokesman Dan Hansen. Nearby ATMs – one facing the skywalk and
one facing the sidewalk on the ground level – will continue to operate during and after
the remodel.

The work will mostly focus on adding space within the branch’s existing footprint for
STCU Connect, a video option for members to connect with an STCU lending specialist
who may be better able to answer their questions and offer assistance, particularly when
branch staff are busy, Hansen said.

Rocket Bakery will continue to operate below the STCU branch, at street-level
downstairs.

STCU has 29 branch locations, $3.9 billion in total assets and 211,000 members, Hansen
said.

Post Falls storage facility

Flippens Secured Self Storage has applied to build seven buildings for a new facility at
208 Creative Way in Post Falls.

The largest of the buildings will be more than 38,000 square feet and cost nearly
$559,000 to build, according to building permits issued last month.

Other buildings will range in size and cost, with the smallest planned to be 2,400 square
feet at a price of $35,000.

Storage units will be available in three sizes – 768 square feet, 420 square feet and 200
square feet – when the facility opens in March, according to the Flippens website.
