Is it too early to say it’s definitely a convenience store!?
What exactly is a “24-hour retail store”?
The first thing that comes to mind is a convenience store, but… 🤔
When we searched for 🔎“24-hour retail store”, supermarkets like “Daiei” and “Super Tamade,” as well as “Welcia Pharmacy” and “Sugi Pharmacy,” came up!
Or maybe a 24-hour gym?? (Though that’s not really retail…)
🔎Let’s take a look at the layout diagram posted at the site↓
- Single-story building
- Green space around the store
- A 10-meter-tall sign pole!!
- Something like a crosswalk in the parking lot!!
- Solar panels on the roof!
Th-this looks extremely convenience-store-like 😂
The correct answer is “We don’t know.”
We won’t be able to confirm the answer until after construction starts in May 2022 🙏
Let’s keep “maybe it’s a convenience store?” 😅 in the back of our minds and look forward to seeing it completed!!
Area Around the Former “洋服の青山” Site
Across the street are Indian and Nepalese restaurant “サガルマータ ナマステ” and “ぬぅ坊,” a self-proclaimed!? best chicken nanban restaurant in Japan.
This way, next door, there’s the yakiniku restaurant “丸喜,” known for its painting of “an old guy leading a cow”, and if you keep going, you’ll reach “Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens.”
The opposite direction leads toward Shukugawa.
There are places like Chōju Udon “つるかめ” and “ネッツテラス夙川,” a Toyota dealership with a café.
Here it is on the map↓
