What’s Missing In Business Mix?

Each April, The Spokesman-Review offers readers an opportunity to suggest types of small businesses they would like to see in the SpokaneCoeur d’Alene area.

Entrepreneurs notice the suggestions.

In the past two years, aspiring business owners have used your responses in loan applications and business plans for ventures as diverse as pool halls and specialty restaurants. Some of those ideas turned into successful businesses.

Restaurants dominated last year’s poll and are always a popular suggestion, so we’re especially interested in other business ideas.

To make a suggestion, call Cityline at 458-8800 in Spokane or 765-8811 in Coeur d’Alene, and enter category 9891. Also leave your name and telephone number. You must have a TouchTone phone.

A reporter might call you for a future story about businesses that consumers would like to see in Spokane and North Idaho.
