Sun People Dry Goods opens December 4th

The opening grand celebration is upon us but be sure to save the date as more details come forth.

I'm very excited for Sun People Dry Goods to open. The locally-owned store will carry eco-smart products for everyday living, from traditional hardware to local and ecologically-conscious gifts. 

They found a home in a 1918 warehouse listed on the Spokane Register of Historic Places at 24 W 2nd Avenue. According to the site, "the remodel includes R-38 insulation at the ceiling, new energy-efficient windows and a heat/cooling recovery unit.  Sun People Dry Goods is also working with local firm, Escent Lighting to develop a state-of-the-art commercial-retail lighting plan utilizing daylight, LEDs, and high efficiency fluorescents.  The interior will consist of non-toxic paints and stains, salvaged wood and furnishings from throughout the Spokane region, formaldehyde-free, recycled, and FSC certified wood products, and American Clay Natural Plaster."

Green Drinks will be held at Sun People Dry Goods on December 14th. Stay tuned via their facebook page HERE and at sunpeopledrygoods.com.
