It looks like the Ikari JR Ashiya supermarket, located right by the south exit of JR Ashiya Station, will temporarily end store operations as of Sunday, March 31.
(This information was provided by Ann. Thank you very much!!)
Quoted from the Ikari Supermarket official website
It seems this is due to the redevelopment project on the south side of JR Ashiya Station, and it is apparently only a temporary closure of operations, not a permanent store closure. It sounds like they plan to reopen somewhere near the station at some point.

↑ A notice about the end of operations was also posted at the store.

The address is 1-20 Narihira-cho, Ashiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.

Finally
↑ Aside from “JR Ashiya,” there is another Ikari supermarket in Ashiya City, “Ashiya”, and that one appears to be operating as usual. It’s a bit of a walk from the station, but it’s very spacious and easy to shop in!
Ann, thank you very much for the information!!
