Dealer Profile: Huppins Connects Computing with Home Entertainment

After more than 100 years as a single-store retailer, Huppins this Friday will host the grand opening of its second location, this one as an Apple authorized reseller.

"Our story is to connect computing to home entertainment and custom installation at a level that nobody else in Spokane is doing," said president Murray Huppin.

The store's grand opening, which will coincide with a marketing campaign, is slated for November 5. Located at 8016 N. Division Street, the new shop sits seven miles north of Huppins' original downtown Spokane location. Its 9,000-square-foot selling floor, once occupied by Magnolia Hi-Fi, is now customized for Huppins."We started with a vanilla shell and got to design the store exactly how we wanted," Huppin said.
