Habit Burger on North Division
A new burger joint is coming to North Division Street, according to plans submitted to the city of Spokane. The permit application calls for a drive-through restaurant with a small patio at 7404 N. Division St. The location is on the northeast corner of the arterial and its intersection with East Cozza Drive and to the east of Holy Cross Cemetery.
