Molli Nixon named executive director of Post Falls 3rd Avenue Marketplace

Molli Nixon was announced as incoming executive director of the 3rd Avenue Marketplace in Post Falls, effective March 1, 2026, the organization stated. The 3rd Avenue Marketplace is described as a Post Falls nonprofit that operates a dignity‑based grocery store, a backpack program for students and a senior cafe at 1215 E 3rd Avenue, Post Falls, ID 83854.

The announcement includes an incomplete line in its text: “She stepped into the role publicly by presenting awar” — the fragment appears in the materials provided and lacks completion or context. The nonprofit’s public website snapshot lists Charlene Holbrook as “Executive Director” at the same 1215 E 3rd Avenue address; no update date accompanies that listing. Both facts appear in the organization’s records as provided, and the material does not state whether Holbrook is stepping down or moving to another role.

Operational details on the 3rd Avenue Marketplace site provide immediate contact and schedule information for residents. The main market phone is (208) 773-0139 with phone hours Monday – Friday, 8:00 am – 4:00 pm. Senior programs can be reached at (208) 773-9582 and run Tuesday & Thursday, 9:00 am – 2:00 pm, and Wednesday & Friday, 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. The site notes that “SNOW CLOSURES FOLLOW POST FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT 273.” The 2025 holiday closures listed on the site include 1/1/25 New Year’s Day; 4/18/25 Good Friday (closing at 12 pm); 5/26/25 Memorial Day; 7/4/25 Independence Day; 11/27/25 Thanksgiving Day; 12/25/25 Christmas Day; and 12/31/25 New Year’s Eve (closing at 12 pm), among other dates recorded for 2025 operations.

To avoid confusion with similarly named entities, the materials supplied also contain information about an unrelated firm, Third Avenue Management LLC, described as “a New York-based registered investment adviser.” That separate firm’s archived announcement states that Erik C. Kleinbeck rejoined the firm as Head of Business Development on February 10, 2020, and that “In this capacity, Mr. Kleinbeck will lead Third Avenue’s institutional and intermediary sales, consultant relations, and marketing and client relationship functions.” The investment firm material appears in the collection only because of name similarity and is not presented as connected to the Post Falls nonprofit.

The provided documents do not include a biography for Molli Nixon, program metrics for the dignity-based grocery, backpack counts, senior cafe attendance figures, or a formal transition timeline for Charlene Holbrook. For verification or more information, 3rd Avenue Marketplace’s main phone is (208) 773-0139 (Monday–Friday, 8:00 am–4:00 pm), senior programs at (208) 773-9582, and the organization’s address is 1215 E 3rd Avenue, Post Falls, ID 83854.
