After the rebuild, it will no longer be an outlet specialty store

It’s a large-scale store. The Nishinomiya Gardens location is also nearby, just 1.3 km away in a straight line, so it will be interesting to see how the two stores differentiate themselves. The opening was listed as autumn, but the earlier construction plan overview said completion was scheduled for late November. Either way, it’s exciting to see a new large electronics store taking shape.
