Around Co-op Koroen
Yokoyama Clinic is across the street.
If you go this way, you’ll find Amagasaki Shinkin Bank, Takoyaki Tsune-chan, and other places. Cross Route 43 and turn left under the Hanshin Railway elevated 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, and it leads out to Rinko Line.
It looks like they’ll set up an in-store consultation corner
It seems they’ll be setting up a consultation desk regarding the end of store operations.
It will be held inside Co-op Koroen from June 19 (Fri) to June 21 (Sun), from 10:00 to 17:00.
For details, please check this official page.
A new Co-op will open next March or April where Sushiro used to be
By the way, a new Co-op will open in Higashimachi 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.
In Closing
Co-op Koroen apparently opened in 1968, which means it has been around for 52 years now. For people who have been going to this Co-op their whole lives, this must come as quite a shock.
That said, Co-op has announced the closure for March next year, which is still quite a while away. They’ll also be setting up a consultation desk, so having time to think carefully about which supermarket to use next may be a small silver lining.
