Spokane Exercise relocates
Gary and Patti Pettigrew, owners of Spokane Exercise Equipment, are moving their retail sports equipment store to the former Huppin’s building at 421 W. Main Ave.
They’ve been in their current building, in the Bennett Block, since 1996.
The goal is to reopen around March 1, said Gary Pettigrew.
The relocation is due, in part, to plans by Bennett Block owner Dru Hieber to renovate the building.
The Pettigrews will take about 2,500 square feet plus 1,000 square feet of storage on the west side of the main floor of the renovated Huppin’s property.
An investment company paid $1.25 million for the Huppin’s building in December. It’s completing other improvements to lease out the rest of the main floor and the second level.
NAI Black’s Mark McLees, of Spokane, was the broker of the sale to the new owners.
