The Dec. 20 launch of Ohana Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi marks the entry into Springfield of Branson-area restaurant and hospitality veterans Yeon Sook Hwang and Ok Jin Kim. The duo opened the hibachi grill and sushi bar at 310 W. Battlefield Road, formerly the site of Silk Road restaurant. Manager John Kim, husband of Ohana co-owner Ok Jin Kim and former owner of Japanese Kitchen in Hollister, said teriyaki chicken for $6.95 is a popular lunch dish.

Michael Van Matre opened Dec. 10 a second location for Altec Computers, the retail arm of Altec Solutions Group Inc. The showroom at 3845 S.

Bush, Ramlow & Shore PC

Greg Bush, Darin Ramlow and Jeff Shore moved certified public accounting firm Bush, Ramlow & Shore PC on Nov. 21 to 2832 S. Ingram Mill Road. The firm operated from 5051 S. National Ave. since its inception in 2002, but the owners had to find a new home when landlord Alan Snider sold the building to CJW Transportation Consultants. Shore said the sale simply sped up a move that they had already planned because of growth. The trio now leases 3,200 square feet, up from 2,200 square feet, Shore said. Hours: 8 a.m.–5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Phone: (417) 877-0505.
