Spokane Valley Mustard Seed closing

After more than 20 years serving Asian-style cuisine in Spokane Valley, the Mustard Seed restaurant will close its Sprague Avenue location on March 16.

Owners hope to reopen the restaurant, 9806 E. Sprague Ave., at a larger Valley location, said Dave Hall, co-owner. A larger outlet can translate into more weekend business, which makes a difference over a year, he said.

“We just decided that we want to find a spot to build a bigger restaurant, something more similar to our NorthTown Mall store,” Hall said.

Owners sold the roughly 3,300-square-foot building to Boise-based Winco Foods LLC late last month for $750,000, public records show. The grocery chain also purchased two adjacent parcels, and plans a store on part of the property.
