Description

The Asian market Uwajimaya is having a long overdue homecoming, sort of.

Plans are in motion to open a new store in Tacoma next year.

That's actually where the family-owned business first opened nearly 100 years ago.

We’ll talk to Uwajimaya’s CEO, and the Puget Sound Business Journal reporter who broke the news.
