Liberty Lake Mcdonald’s Is Play Place

Otis Orchards and Liberty Lake kids might tumble their way to hamburger heaven now that a McDonald’s restaurant has opened in Liberty Lake Town Center.

The golden-arched eatery has a mega-playland complete with a pool of balls, slides and crawl-through corridors for lots of lunch, snack or dinnertime fun.

About 50 full- and part-time employees work at the restaurant, which opened Dec. 16, said manager Mark Andreasen.

Hours of operation for the dining room and drive-through window are 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and 6 a.m. to midnight.

Day care supply shop moves

L&B Children’s Supplies, a day care supply store, recently moved.

The store is now at 12510 E. Sprague, near Ron’s Drive-In. It formerly was in the 12100 block of Main, off Pines.

Owners Lois Richards and Gail Bennasser, who are sisters, opened the store in September.

Store hours are Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Mobile phone store opens

A Sprint PCS showroom has opened on Sprague.

In the art deco-designed, 2,400-square foot store, shoppers can test Sprint’s newest product: mobile digital communication.

The store employs 18 full-time staff members. Soon, that will increase to 21 employees, said district manager Mike Smith. “We’ve got lots of open floor space, lots of room to walk around, look, read and not be jostled,” said Smith.

“People will have attentive employees at their beck and call to give as much or as little attention as they require.”

Sprint carries the Sony line of handsets, as well as mobile phone accessories and pagers.

Smith said the store will soon stock connectors for fax machines and personal computers that, when used with the PCS phone, will transmit data faster than cellular and regular phones.
