亚裔连锁超市Uwajimaya宣布2027年再开两家新店：落户Tacoma与Issaquah
位于华盛顿州西雅图的亚裔连锁超市 Uwajimaya 将于2027年在该州再开两家新店，分别落户 Tacoma 与 Issaquah，届时其在华盛顿州与俄勒冈州的门店总数将达到六家。Kitsap Sun 10月21日报道了这一扩张计划及该连锁的98周年庆祝活动。
据报道，两家新店均开在零售广场内：Tacoma 店位于 Tacoma Central，地址为 3202 S 23rd St；Issaquah 店位于 Town and Country Square，地址为 1175 NW Gilman Blvd，该址原为一家 Rite Aid，施工已经开始。两店具体开业日期将在后续公布。
Uwajimaya 创立于1928年，创始人 Fujimatsu Moriguchi 最初在 Tacoma 开着卡车售卖自制鱼糕等日本食品，店名取自他学习食品加工的日本 Uwajima。第二次世界大战期间，Moriguchi 一家被送往加州 Tule Lake 拘禁营，战后将店铺迁至西雅图。此后该连锁于1978年在 Bellevue 开店，1998年进入俄勒冈州 Beaverton，2009年在 Renton 开店。今年10月，Uwajimaya 以整月优惠活动庆祝98周年；各门店10月21日至11月3日举办长野美食节，提供日本长野县特色食品试吃等活动。
Asian Grocery Chain Uwajimaya to Open Two More Stores in 2027, in Tacoma and Issaquah
Uwajimaya, the Seattle-based Asian grocery chain in Washington state, will open two more stores in the state in 2027, in Tacoma and Issaquah, bringing its total to six stores across Washington and Oregon. The Kitsap Sun reported on the expansion and the chain's 98th anniversary celebrations on October 21.
Both new stores will be in retail plazas: the Tacoma store at Tacoma Central, at 3202 S 23rd St, and the Issaquah store at Town and Country Square, at 1175 NW Gilman Blvd, in a former Rite Aid building where construction has begun. Specific opening dates are to be announced.
Uwajimaya was founded in 1928 by Fujimatsu Moriguchi, who first sold homemade fishcakes and other Japanese goods from his truck in Tacoma; the store is named after Uwajima, the Japanese town where he learned food processing. During World War II, the Moriguchi family was sent to the Tule Lake internment camp in California, and the store relocated to Seattle after the war. The chain later opened in Bellevue in 1978, in Beaverton, Oregon, in 1998, and in Renton in 2009. This October, Uwajimaya is marking 98 years with a month of coupons and deals, and all stores are hosting a Nagano Food Fair from October 21 to November 3 with samples and other treats featuring products from Japan's Nagano prefecture.
