According to a recent permit filing, Tomi Sushi and Ramen will open in Kennewick, located at 122 S Ely Street.
A representative of Tomi Sushi and Ramen was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Seattle’s request.
While an official opening date has yet to be confirmed, according to the permit filing, Tomi Sushi will come from Tomi Sushi Inc. According to Bizapedia, Tomi Sushi Inc. was incorporated on October 1st of this year.
According to an article from the Tri-City Herald, “Tomi Sushi & Ramen will open in the former Dickey’s spot, 122 S. Ely St., which overlooks Highway 395 in central Kennewick in the shopping center formerly anchored by Safeway.”
“Dickey’s opened not once but twice at the Kennewick location. The original opened in 2015 and closed in June 2019 after the state Department of Revenue filed tax warrants for unpaid taxes. It reopened in 2020 under new ownership, along with Dickey’s spots in Richland and Pasco. It closed again this fall.”
“The new business, Tomi Sushi & Ramen, will be operated by Chao Liu, Zhiyi Li, and Junbo Li, according to a business license application. Its application to serve beer and wine is pending. The city of Kennewick authorized modest interior upgrades in late November.”
When it comes to the property itself, according to a Commercial MLS listing, the shopping center in question is Kennewick Plaza. The property was originally built in 1979 and was renovated in 1998.
