Sako African Food Market and Beauty Supply has reopened.

The business has moved from its former location at 107 Fourth Ave. NE to the Nemitz Building on N. Main Street, next to the Yoga Studio of Austin.

Sako temporarily shut down after a fire damaged the building and totaled the business on Dec. 10, 2012. Workers repaired about $110,000 worth of damage, which included roof repairs and interior painting, in April.
