Hayden-based glass-repair business Grizzly Glass Centers Inc. plans to move next month to larger quarters in the Warren K Industrial Park, where the company is developing its new, $1 million headquarters building.

Owner Steve Wright says the building will include 6,500 square feet of shop space and 2,500 of office space, as well as a customer waiting area. 

“We plan to move into the new space by the middle of November and spend the winter getting organized and ready for spring,” says Wright. 

The new site, at 11950 N. Warren, is about a mile north of its current Hayden location at 10223 N. Taryne, where Grizzly Glass occupies 4,800 square feet of space.

Wright says the 33-year-old company, which employs a total of 20 people at its three offices, has outgrown its current headquarters.

“Business is good,” Wright says. “Kootenai County has grown by leaps and bounds, and we’re growing along with it.”

Wright says the company provides residential, commercial, and automotive glass repair services, specializing in rock chip and power window repairs.

“We do a little bit of everything, including some wholesale to area body shops and car dealers,” he says. “Most of our customers are local.” 

In addition to its Hayden headquarters, the company has operations at 15205 E Sprague in Spokane Valley and at 337 S. Olive in Sandpoint, Idaho.

Wright says the company purchased the 1.5-acre building site within the Warren K Industrial Park in June. The contractor on the project, Mid-Mountain Land & Timber Inc., of Hayden Lake, started construction there that same month.
