$2.5 million remodel for Coeur d’Alene’s Super One

A six-month, $2.5 million remodel of the Super One Foods in Coeur d’Alene began last week and will completely redo the building’s exterior and interior.

The project, by Spokane-based Meridian Construction and Development, will be done in phases to allow for the grocery store to remain open, MeridianPresident Mark D’Agostino said.

“When you do a supermarket remodel, you have to keep the facility open,” he said.

The remodel of the 67,000-square-foot building, 305 W. Kathleen Ave., will include renovation of the bakery, deli, pharmacy, and meat and fish area, and add a mezzanine with a dining area.

Meridian’s focus is on retail, office, medical and industrial work, and it recently built the new $14 million Spokane Valley City Hall, Hayford Crossing Shopping Center in Airway Heights and Dealer’s Auto Auction. The company also owns the Globe building in downtown Spokane and led its redevelopment.

The grocery building is owned by Young, McIntire and Gill Hoover. URM Stores, of Spokane, is the construction manager. Shane Mercier, of Spokane’s Mercier Architecture and Planning, did the design.
