MOD Pizza plans location in Hillyard

MOD Pizza is coming to Hillyard Marketplace, according to an application filed with the city of Spokane.

Issaquah, Washington-based Rainer Retail LLC filed plans to renovate a 3,000-square-foot space in the multitenant Hillyard Marketplace to make way for MOD Pizza.

The project architect is Spokane-based Bernardo|Willis Architects. The project contractor is Associated Construction Inc., also of Spokane.

Seattle couple Scott and Ally Svenson founded MOD Pizza in 2008. The fast-casual, build-your-own pizza chain has since expanded to 460 locations nationwide, including four in Spokane and one in the Coeur d’Alene area.
