In brief: Jennifer’s celebrates grand opening today
Jennifer’s Auto Sales plans a grand opening today at its new location, 15020 E. Sprague Ave.
The new store will triple the size of the former Greenacres location. Previously, the new site at Sprague Avenue and Progress Road was occupied by an RV dealership. A press release said the used car dealer will now offer RV storage.
Valley native Jennifer Johnson, a 30-year veteran of auto sales, is the business owner.
The property is also home to a piece of Spokane Valley history, the Lone Fir School House. The one-room school was moved to the site more than 50 years ago and is being renovated. It will eventually be moved to the Spokane Valley Heritage Museum, according to the press release.
