Around Co-op Koroen
Yokoyama Clinic is across the street.
If you go this way, you’ll find Amagasaki Shinkin Bank, Takoyaki Tsunechan, and other places. Cross Route 43 and turn left along the elevated Hanshin Railway tracks to get to Koroen Station.
If you go in the opposite direction, you’ll find Seven-Eleven, Nishinomiya Kofu High School, and other places, before reaching Rinko Line.
It looks like they’ll set up an in-store consultation corner
They appear to be setting up a consultation desk regarding the end of business at this store.
It will be inside Co-op Koroen from Friday, June 19 to Sunday, June 21, from 10:00 to 17:00.
For details, please check this official page.
A new Co-op will open around next March or April where Sushiro used to be
By the way, a new Co-op will open in Higashimachi around next March or April, at the former Sushiro site.
But it’s far.
Here’s how far it is on foot↓
It’s a 19-minute walk. By bicycle, it’s about 6 minutes.
The nearby supermarkets will probably be Mandai or the Co-op in Ashiya.
Finally
Co-op Koroen apparently opened in 1968, which means it has been around for 52 years. For people who have been going to this Co-op their whole lives, this must be quite a shock.
That said, Co-op has announced the closure well in advance, with the store closing next March. There will also be a consultation desk, so having time to slowly think about which supermarket to use next may be something of a silver lining.
