The New Nut Factory Store
opened February 1st, 1999

The project broke ground in May of 1998 and
the date we completed was February, 1999.

We look like a turn-of-the-century candy store!

We built a new food processing plantin February 1999.   Our plant is located on the western United States on Interstate 90 in Spokane, Washington.       



Greenacres is our official address and it is a suburb of Spokane, just five miles west of  the Idaho border.  

The brick building looks like it was built a century ago, yet it has all the modern conveniences.  The plant is expandable as we develop the need for more capacity.    We made this building a viewing plant where people can see how we process our products.  


Because the plant is on an interstate freeway, it will become widely recognized for its unique design and as a place of interest for tourists to stop and see something unusual.

 This has been a long process...    We started looking for land in 1991.

What we wanted was to be along a major interstate highway with high visibility, yet near the city.    In 1993, we purchased acreage just east of Spokane in a fast growing metropolitan corridor. The property faces Interstate 90 which is the major route from Chicago to Seattle and has a lot of visability.

This is the east side of the factory/plant. 

The frontage road runs between two exits. There are 100,000 cars going by each day along Interstate 90 and the new plant location is about 1,500 feet from each of two freeway exits.

In 1994, the property was rezoned. It required special zoning to accommodate both a factory and a retail factory store.



We planned to build in 1995. The project was delayed for two and a half years while the design of the plant was revised a number of times.    In 1997, we created preliminary drawings.  



In early 1998 final drawings were submitted to Spokane County and the building permits were issued.    Ground was broken in June, 1998.   The plant was completed in February, 1999. 

The theme of our project is a return to the early 1900's.       The building resembles a crystal palace that you might have seen around 1900.     The feeling this building evokes is nostalgia and a sense of elegance. To achieve that feel, we are using a special brick for the plant and a highly decorative colored stucco and cut glass exterior for the store.

There is a fantasy theme that also is part of the design.    



The fantasy and nostalgia themes are intended to make the visit to our factory store truly a fun and exciting experience.      The Nut Factory is rapidly becoming an established location that draws people from all over the United States.
