The Dirt: Spiceology planning new production facility at Playfair Commerce Park
Spokane-based Spiceology is expanding into a new production facility and office in the Playfair Commerce Park, according to a recent building permit application filed with the city.
Property owner Playfair Commerce Park 3 LLC filed the permit to renovate space in Playfair 3 at 2700 E. Ferry Ave. into a 20,730-square-foot production facility and 2,240-square-foot office.
The Spokane-based spice and rub company will use the space for dry-food packaging and storage, according to the application.
The project valuation is $250,000. Greenacres-based Flywheel Construction and Development LLC is the project contractor.
Spiceology was founded in 2013 by executive chef Pete Taylor and food blogger Heather Scholten of Farmgirl Gourmet.
The privately held spice company steadily has grown by creating recipes and how-to videos for customers as well as collaborating with chefs and food influencers on new product lines.
Spiceology was named to Inc. Magazine’s list of the 5,000 fastest-growing companies in the nation in 2020. The company secured $4.7 million in Series A funding in September, led by grocery and retail executive Ty Bennett with participation by Kickstart Funds III and IV, a group of angel investors and the Cowles Co., which publishes The Spokesman-Review.
The company, headquartered at 715 E. Sprague Ave., said in September it will use the funding to bring “automation to its SpiceLab operations and advance sales and marketing efforts.”
