Several new businesses have opened in Yakima in recent weeks:
• SEWN, a fabric store specializing in clothing and sustainable fabrics, opened in downtown Yakima last month.

Previously, Berchman’s Brewing Co. was in space. The store is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
• Union Gospel Mission, has opened a new location for its thrift store, called Summit Thrift in the old Rite-Aid building off 56th and Summitview avenues, next to Safeway. Union Gospel Mission has opened its second thrift store, Mission Thrift, in the former Party Palace location at 2011 W. Lincoln Ave. in 2019 and renovated its original downtown location called Lighthouse Thrift last year.
