Bethel has another liquor store. At 11 a.m. Tuesday, Bethel Native Corporation opened Bethel Spirits on Front Street.

It’s the second liquor store to open in Bethel this year after an almost half century ban on legal alcohol sales. KYUK’s Anna Rose MacArthur arrived as the doors opened.

Cezary Maczynski is the first customer on the opening day of BNC's Bethel Spirits on Sept. 27, 2016. Maczynski's purchase: a Corona six-pack, totaling $21.60 with tax.
