There was an image rendering of the “Life” supermarket currently under construction along Route 2 at the Morigu intersection, so we’re sharing it here.
It definitely looks like Life.
I feel like the color scheme is subtly similar to the Nishinomiya city flag.

Here’s the project outline that had been posted previously↓
Here it is on the map↓

Around the Life in Morigu
Across the street are places like Umakara-tei, Kawakiya Cleaning, Namaste India, and Kokoa Osteopathic Clinic.
If you go this way, you’ll find AOKI and other shops. At Shukugawa Bridge, turning left takes you to Hankyu Shukugawa Station, while turning right takes you to Hanshin Koroen Station.
In the opposite direction, there are places like Domino’s Pizza, Ringer Hut, and Tsutaya, heading toward Ashiya.
Photos of the Current Construction Status

Here’s the photo from December↓
It’s surrounded by fencing.
This part is transparent, but there was sheeting inside, so we couldn’t see what was going on. Still, why is it transparent??
When it was visible around November, it looked like foundation-related work was moving along.
The Life logo was up.
Apparently Right Turns from the South Get Congested at the Morigu Intersection
The source included a traffic volume survey for the Morigu intersection.
It seems there are many cars turning right on weekdays from the south side, in the direction of Route 43.
The opening of Life is expected to increase that number slightly.
(Added 6/15) Life Shukugawa Store Is Hiring
“Life Shukugawa Store” is hiring opening staff.
*The job listing information is as of the time of publication. Sorry if the details have changed or the listing has already ended<m(__)m>
Finally
It looks like the store will open around June to July 2020. The official name hasn’t been decided, but in the source, it was listed as Sakura Shukugawa Store (tentative name). There aren’t any supermarkets of this size in the area, so it should make things quite a bit more convenient.
