The correct answer is c. Hanshin Koshien Station Front store.
It opens at 7:30~♪

Here it is on the map↓↓
The address is 4-3 Koshien Takashiocho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Here are the hours for each location↓↓
| Store name | Opening time | Closing time |
|---|---|---|
| Nishinomiya Kurakakecho store | 7:00 | 23:00 |
| Ebista Nishinomiya store | 7:00 | 22:00 |
| Hanshin Koshien Station Front store | 7:30 | 22:00 |
| ACTA Nishinomiya store | 8:00 | 22:00 |
| Vierra Koshien store | 8:00 | 22:00 |
| Kwansei Gakuin University store | 8:30 | 19:00 |
| LaLaport Koshien store | 10:00 | 23:00 |
| Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens store | 10:00 | 21:00 |
*The Kwansei Gakuin University store’s Saturday hours are 10:00–17:00
Kurakakecho and Ebista Nishinomiya open the earliest, at 7:00.
The second-earliest is the Hanshin Koshien Station Front store, which opens at 7:30.
For early risers, it’s nice to have a place that opens in the 7 o’clock hour.
I’ve been doing morning activities lately, so if one were nearby, I’d want to go in right when it opens.
I was surprised that LaLaport closes at 23:00.
