Planet Fitness and a Goodwill thrift store will fill remodeled space in a former Albertsons in Spokane’s Emerson-Garfield neighborhood.

Goodwill Industries of the Inland Northwest has leased about 20,000 square feet of space for a retail store and a back-room donation area at 1617 W. Northwest Blvd., between Maple and Ash streets. Heather Alexander, a Goodwill spokeswoman, said this will be the nonprofit’s 14th regional outlet.

It is expected to open in the fall.

Planet Fitness, which opened a Spokane Valley outlet for fitness workouts in 2015, will occupy about 24,000 square feet next door to Goodwill.

Albertsons closed the grocery store in July 2011, and the property had remained vacant.

Chris Bell, a Black Commercial broker who represented the property owner, said leases are being negotiated to construct new buildings along Northwest Boulevard, but those deals aren’t yet finalized.
