Post Falls business continues legacy of honoring those who served

Brent Topie had two life goals: To work in a prison and own a bar. He worked in the prison system for 14 years in central California, then worked for the Kootenai County Jail for more than three years after relocating to North Idaho with his family in 2019. In June 2024, he and wife Niki, dad Skip and mom Robin bought the Bunker Bar and Burger Bunker in Post Falls. Missions accomplished.
