Wade plans store in Kendall Yards

Josh Wade, who launched Nectar Tasting Room in 2011 in downtown Spokane, is adding a wine-and-beer specialty store and pub in the Kendall Yards neighborhood.

He will move into a 2,200-square-foot space at 1331 W. Summit Parkway, adjoining Veraci Pizza and east of Central Food. It will be called Nectar Wine and Beer.

Veraci Pizza will provide the menu, Wade said. He expects the new location to open in February.

Wade has launched a Kickstarter campaign hoping to raise $20,000 to provide his initial inventory. Hissong Design Group will do interior design for the pub.

Nectar Tasting Room will remain open. The new business will operate six days a week, Wade said.
