It looks like “551 Horai” inside Nishinomiya-kitaguchi Station will be temporarily closed.
(Thanks to Yoshitomo-san for the tip.)

Due to renovation work, it will be temporarily closed from Monday, September 29. It looks like it will reopen in December.

This is what the current 551 Horai Nishinomiya-kitaguchi shop looks like. I wonder how it’ll be reborn after the two-month renovation period 😄
While it’s closed, there are also 551 shops on the 1st floors of Nishinomiya Hankyu and Hanshin Nishinomiya, so please head there instead.

We received photos of how it looks during the closure from Juicy @ Nishitsu SP!
The flyer on the far right says they’re hiring part-time staff, limited to 30 people. They’re recruiting even while closed.

There is also a 551 on the 1st floor of Hanshin Nishinomiya, but this sign seems to mainly list shops along the Hankyu line! Even with this location closed, it’s reassuring that there’s still another one in Nishikita 😆
*Yoshitomo-san, thank you very much for the information!!
