Ironwood Square — Local services in Coeur d'Alene

Whether you're looking for anything from yoga to yogurt, groceries, house hold items, pharmacy, dining out, coffee, finance, gaming, a hair cut... They've kind of got it all! At first I just went for the ever-delicious Jamba juice. Then I decided I'd pop in next door to tan, it was nicely kept salon with some wild lighting. Afterwards, I went it to Sally's beauty supply, the cute little goth girl there, (Marlene I think?) was super helpful, friendly, very informative, and had me sold with a product that I can't wait to try! I'd recommend this location purely because of her, she really knew her stuff. Before I left the area I went and picked up some Qdoba. They messed up my order but when I called, they apologized and offered to make me a new salad. Even though it was wrong, the ingredients were still fresh and delicious. So all in all, there's a lot that this little shopping center...

As a local of nearly 40 years, being a Realtor I often have to get my groceries wherever I end up which on this day took me to Albertson's. Honestly I have shopped here on and off over the years but in general I have never really been in love with this store. The building shows its age, the prices without coupons is much higher than other stores, and the produce is never that varied or well kept. I will often go there with needs unfulfilled due to lesser quality items like fruits veggies I want to be more fresh. A lot of times what they have is too close to souring to be worth purchasing. They do have a modest Bakery, a small meat section, etc. but nothing to write home about. There are more than a few nearby stores with better food quality, choices, and prices....

When I was there, at Albertsons ,this week ,Oct.15,we had street musicians! Like in the city. It was a litl MX. family tryn to make a livn Dad playing violin well over a big speaker box. No one even knowing where the music was coming from or that itvwas live because they are set up past the store by W.F.Bank. Anyway, go listen and tip! Poor kids waiting 4 Mum n Dad in car. No home, no daycare. Sad. There is a cafe at the other end around corner. Nice. Salads for $7. The Java juice is there. The ATT ph.store. Very nice peep. Helped me. The deli workers in Alb.s were very nice. It will be part of Kroger next year...
