Spokane-based baking supply company Global Ultimate’s LLC, which does business as Fat Daddio’s, has leased 3,200 square feet of space in the Schade Towers building, where it plans to expand from adjacent space, says Greg Skipper, a principal in the company.

Altogether, Fat Daddio’s will occupy 5,800 square feet of space on the second floor of the building following tenant improvements to the recently leased space, Skipper says.

Fat Daddio’s administration, sales, and customer service is handled through its Spokane headquarters, he says. The company’s main distribution facility is in Lakewood, south of Tacoma.

Skipper says the company also is negotiating for warehouse space near Amsterdam from which it plans to distribute to customers in Europe.

Fat Daddio’s currently ships products to more than 50 countries, he says.

“We’ve been growing and selling around the world,” Skipper says. “Our distributors and retailers dot the planet.”

The company has 15 employees, he says. “Five of them are new since last year.”

Commercial real estate agents, Jim Orcutt and Jeff McGougan, both of NAI Black, of Spokane, brokered the lease for the expansion.

The remodel project includes removing some doors and demolishing interior walls to create open office space.

“We like open exposed ductwork and the look of brick,” he says. “We want to keep the original charm of the building rather than having it look too corporate.”
