Along National Route 2, at the former site of “洋服の青山 Ashiya Store” in Maeda-cho, there was a sign saying that a company handling high-end used cars called “株式会社ジースクエア仙台” will build a retail store there〜
↑The construction plan sign posted at the planned site. It will be a one-story building, with the listed use as a “retail store”. The owner is “株式会社ジースクエア仙台”, and the construction period is scheduled from April 15 to December 15.

“株式会社ジースクエア仙台” is a company that buys and sells high-end used cars, and also handles leasing, rentals, maintenance, repairs, and more. It appears to operate a store called “Advance Automobile” in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture〜
↑The current state of the planned construction site. “洋服の青山 Ashiya Store” used to stand here, but after it closed, the building was demolished and the site is now vacant land.
Here’s the map↓
The address is 10-1 Maeda-cho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Information Around the Planned Construction Site
↑This is the plot of land on the northwest corner of the National Route 2 Maeda-cho intersection.
↑If you go this way (east), you’ll find “花鏡園,” the eel and sushi restaurant “戎家,” the photo studio “ハナヤ勘兵衛,” and more, toward the Ashiyagawa area.
↑If you go the opposite way (west), you’ll find “芦屋清水郵便局,” “とうふ工房はな,” “げんこつ 芦屋店,” and more, toward Higashinada Ward in Kobe City.
↑Directly across the street is “ル・ミラク美容室” and other places.
↑Diagonally across is “やまとラーメン香雲堂 Ashiya Store.”
Finally
After 洋服の青山 closed and was demolished, the site became a large empty lot, so I’d been wondering what would happen to it〜 It looks like it’s going to become a high-end used car dealership. It’s surprising to see a company expand from Sendai to Ashiya!
