| Fencing, decking company coming here |
Rick's Custom Fencing & Decking Inc., a Hillsboro, Ore.-based company that claims to be one of the Northwest's largest retailers of fencing and decking products, plans to develop a store on the West Plains that would be its seventh overall.
The company executive most familiar with project details couldn't be reached immediately for comment. Other company and real estate sources, however, confirmed that the store is to be constructed on a 9-acre piece of land at the northwest corner of Geiger Boulevard and Soda Road that company owners Rick and Marlene Stanley bought last year. The development site is at due south of Spokane International Airport and includes frontage along Interstate 90.
Information wasn't available on the expected size of the store, who will construct it, the estimated cost of the project, when the store is expected to open, or how many people the store will employ.
Rick's Custom Fencing & Decking designs and sells cedar and composite decking, various types of fencing, pergolas, patio covers, gazebos, arbors, and other related products, and buys its materials directly from lumber mills and manufacturing plants, according to its Web site. The company caters both to residential and commercial customers, and offers customers a range of pickup, delivery, and installation options, depending on what amount of work the customers want to do themselves.
The company's other stores are located in Hillsboro, Gresham, Salem, and Bend, Ore., and Vancouver and Kennewick, Wash. It opened the Tri-Cities store-its newest outlet-last May. The Stanleys founded the company in 1980.
