The exterior of the “Life” supermarket being built in the Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi area, in Ashiharacho along the Yamate Kansen road, is starting to take shape.
Here it is↓
The branch name will apparently be Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi.
Here it is on the map↓
The address is around 8 Ashiharacho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture.
There used to be an AUTOBACS here.
Here’s a photo from when the site was vacant afterward↓
Here’s what it looks like now from Yamate Kansen↓
It looks like the exterior construction is almost finished.
The English signage here looks stylish.
I tried translating it! Since I have basically no English skills, I used an online translator.
- PRODUCE Vegetables and fruit
- SEAFOOD Seafood products
- FRESH MEAT Fresh meat

- LIQUOR Alcohol
By the way, in Japan, it seems most places write “VEGETABLES” for vegetables and fruit.
But Life deliberately uses “PRODUCE.”
Apparently, in the U.S., vegetable sections are labeled “PRODUCE” pretty much everywhere.
So Life is cutting-edge when it comes to English. Nishi2 needs to learn from this too.
Life Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi is hiring
“Life Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi” is recruiting opening staff.
They’re hiring at an hourly wage of 900 to 1,250 yen, for shifts between 6:00 and 24:15. (As of 2020/3/29)
It also looks like the hourly wage goes up by 100 yen on Sundays and holidays. They apparently have a shopping discount system too.

Lastly
The construction overview posted at this site before construction began listed February 28 as the scheduled completion date, but it seems to be running a little behind.
According to the job listing, it’s scheduled to open sometime around spring. Since spring means March to May, and March is already almost over, it might be just barely in time.
Either way, there are probably quite a lot of people who will find it helpful to have a Life supermarket in this location.
