Sidewok Cafe Opening Soon In Liberty Lake
A new express restaurant serving Chinese food is opening next month in Liberty Lake.
Co-owners Terry Knight and Doug Peterson hope to get Sidewok Oriental Cafe Express up and running before Jan. 15, Peterson said.
The restaurant will be in the Liberty Lake 90 business center, north of Interstate 90 off Harvard Road, across from the new Sports World complex.
The business will occupy 1,570 square feet of the west side of the strip mall, which also houses a Little Ceasar’s pizza shop, a Shell gas station and an insurance office. “That was one of the areas that we wanted to be in,” Peterson said. “There’s a lot businesses out there.”
The Chinese restaurant will feature take out, catering and delivery to Liberty Lake and Otis Orchards.
Knight, who has been cooking for 17 years, and Peterson, who works at Group Health Northwest, started their Chinese food business last spring to cater events like Hoopfest and Gorge concerts.
This will be their first restaurant.
“We sell ourselves as the Subway of Chinese food,” Peterson said.
The restaurant may also have 30 to 50 seats for dine-in customers.
New bagel bakery opening
Spokane’s Fitzbillie’s Bagel Co. is expanding eastward.
A new bagel shop will open later this month in the Liberty Lake Town Center, north of Albertson’s grocery store.
“Liberty Lake is a growing affluent community,” said David Gibbons, who owns the new 2,600-square-foot bakery with his wife, Karen.
The Liberty Lake bakery will also supply bagels for the Gibbonses’ other Fitzbillie’s franchise in Coeur d’Alene, which they plan to open at the end of December.
There are two other Fitzbillie’s shops locations in Spokane, one downtown and one on the North side.
Wireless Concepts moves
Wireless Concepts, a Valley cellular phone and pager retail store, moved this week to 1201 N. Pines.
The store opened 18 months ago in the North Pines Center, about two blocks away.
The new quarters provides the business with a bigger showroom and better visibility, said co-owner Marcie Barnhart, who runs the business with Bryan Kjosa.
The company provides cellular and paging service. In November it began carrying Nextel and Sprint services along with Airtouch Cellular.
