Business complex coming to Athol

A fresh breath of business is headed to Athol.

Construction on The Crossings, a 37-acre business complex to be anchored by Super 1 Foods at the northeast corner of U.S. 95 and Highway 54, began on Tuesday.

The 57,000-square-foot grocery store, which is expected to employ about 100, is anticipated to open in early spring 2018, said Alan Johnson of the H.J. Grathol development firm.

“It’s a market that’s completely underserved,” Johnson said, referring to northern Kootenai County. “There are a lot of rooftops out in the woods”/ Brian Walker, Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
