Liquidation World To Open In Cda
A 17,000-square-foot building that has been vacant many months will be filled and busy by the end of June. Liquidation World will open in Old America’s former space at 1304 N. Fourth St. in Coeur d’Alene.
The 14-year-old company specializes in merchandise available from commercial distress situations such as bankruptcies, receiverships, insurance claims, closeouts and inventory overruns. Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, the publicly traded company now has 86 locations in North America.
With a constantly changing inventory, Liquidation World’s stock includes furniture, paint, clothing, toys, automotive supplies, health and beauty, school supplies and crafts. The company has signed an eight-year lease after looking for a Coeur d’Alene location for several years, said spokesman Darrell Fladager.
Liquidation World will hire up to 10 full-time employees. Hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 11 to 5 Sundays.
The building is being renovated and shelves are being stocked. Manager Brian MacArthur transferred from the Lewiston store.
Offering specialty sandwiches, bag lunches and catering platters, Lake City Deli is a new business in the Fairway Gas & Grocery building at Kathleen Avenue and Ramsey Road in Coeur d’Alene. The space formerly housed Pappy’s pizza.
Lake City Deli has a take-out service and seating for up to 25 customers. Sandwiches include T.W.’s Turkey and The Chongo.
With about 10 years in the business, owner Corey Lineberry and his wife, Darlene, came to Coeur d’Alene from Seattle. Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Phone 667-5926.
Described as “pieces of art for long-distance riding,” Indian Motorcycles are offered in a shop of the same name in the Coeur d’Alene Resort Plaza Shoppes on Sherman Avenue.
The 800-square-foot store sells the hand-crafted machines and related clothing, leather goods and accessories. Three colors of Indian Motorcycles are on display. The 99-year-old company has 76 dealerships.
Coeur d’Alene owners are Kurt and Chrystal Russell, who came from Montana. Manager Elizabeth Halvorsen, originally from Sacramento, Calif., came from Southern Idaho.

Full retail sales and technical support for Apple computer products, including its Macintosh and iMac lines, are available at Odyssey Tek, a new business at 204 Fourth St. (next to Idaho Ruby’s) in Coeur d’Alene.

Check-It-Out Video stores in Coeur d’Alene and Hayden are closing with liquidation sales through June. Check-It-Out’s Post Falls store closed earlier, and the Rathdrum store is under new ownership.
Competition from national big-box stores has forced the smaller, independent stores out of business, said a liquidation sales manager hired for the Check-it-Out sale.
The Coeur d’Alene and Hayden stores, with 15 employees, are owned by Terry Corey. The sale includes videos, DVDs and Nintendo and Play-Station games.
Red Rooster kitchen supplies and gift store moved from its Coeur d’Alene Resort Plaza Shoppes space to the Spokane Valley Mall. Owners are Gerald and Lauren May.
Rumors that the Plaza’s neighboring Bon Marche outlet may expand into the Red Rooster space are premature, although a Bon employee said they could use the space. “It would take a corporate decision,” she said.
Other Coeur d’Alene businesses that either have closed or are closing include Tom’s SportCo, Sisters Imports and Big Sky RV.
