PF: New businesses lead to more jobs

The city of Post Falls has been opening up new places like a new Burger King. There hasn’t been a Burger King in Post Falls for over six years. So after the new Burger King first opened people just started to flood in. There is also a new Walmart right by Cabela’s and another Walmart in Hayden Lake. There was a Dollar store right by the Bank, now it’s an antique shop and there is still a thrift store right by the antique shop. Also right across the Bank there was a pet supply shop, then it was a small foods market but then they closed it down. I think all those stores changed to different and better stores to make more money for the city of Post Falls, such as the new Burger King and the new Wal-mart by Cabela’s and in Hayden Lake. Because these stores opened, it has created better jobs for the city in Post Falls.
