About Spokane's Brownes Addition

New Business Opens: Pacific Avenue Trading Company.

The New store is at a very well recognized location near downtown Spokane at the corner of Maple and Pacific in Historic Brown's Addition and you can park right in front of Salon Solo.

Proprietor, Randy Holland has had the idea in mind for years and finally found the perfect location and space to bring to the neighborhood a very cool store!

In keeping with the tradition of barbers and salon professionals, The store will not be open on Monday, however the rest of the week, including Sunday you can step inside between 10am and 5pm.

Randy at Pacific Avenue Trading Company sells anything from household appliances to furniture, clothing and shoes...even fur coats! It's not necessarily all upscale items, nor is it total bargain store bottom of the basement.

Randy says he's looking for unique items, or things that many people may find of interest. Space is limited so you will find just selected items available and this brings more of a charm to the experience of shopping throughout.

Because the store is a consignment shop, people are encouraged to bring in items that they think might sell and/or contribute to the ambiance of the store. If you plan to bring a few items by, it's probably best to call first and talk to Randy about what it is you'd like put on consignment.

He also has collectables, jewelry, art, and antiques etc...he says customers can bring items in and when they sell, build up credit on an account and then come back and do some shopping with the money you already made.

The location is great, the concept is fun and inviting, and with Randy I truly believe you are going to get a store filled with all kinds of intriguing possibilities. Randy also owns Salon Solo attatched to the same building. Some of you may remember when Randy had previously worked and was a partner in Studio 1829 that used to be located right next to the Elk in Browne's Addition. He also helped launch Salon Rouge and according to some, is one of the most experienced and better salon stylists in the area. If you you stop in to say "hi" don't forget to mention that you found out about the shop here on my blog!

Salon Solo is now open for business at 1605 W. Pacific Avenue just inside Brown's Addition near the corner of Maple and Pacific. Owner and Master Designer, Randy Holland has been a stylist for more than 20 years and has clients in Spokane and Phoenix Arizona where he flies to regularly to do hair. He also was a partner in Studio 1929 that used to be located right next door to the Elk before it expanded into the salon's former location. Studio 1929 then moved to the corner of Third and Monroe where it stayed for several years before Mark moved to his new digs farther North on Monroe. Recently he has teamed up with twelve year stylist veteran Mark Zalomsky, also formerly of Studio 1929 to open up the new Salon Solo in the location of what was previously the Renaissance Hair Salon.

The Salon also employs a third stylist and his name is Richard. Mark tells me that he has been in the trade for about twelve years as well. If you would like to try out the salon and mention that you got the information from my blog Mark tells me they would take 20% off of your bill. If you a regular client (almost all of their clients have followed them to this new location I am told) please tell them you saw this on here also. I have a couple of friends who get their hair done with these guys and all have been real happy over the years plus they are a lot of fun to visit with while getting your hair cut.
