It looks like the convenience store “Seven-Eleven Shio-Ashiya” in Kaiyocho, in the Minami-Ashiyahama area, will be closing on Wednesday, January 15 next year.

↑ A notice about the closure was posted. It says the store is closing due to the expiration of its contract with the Hyogo Prefectural Enterprise Agency.

Area Around “Seven-Eleven Shio-Ashiya”
↑ This Seven-Eleven is located along Ashiya City Road Yoko-Kaiyo Line. To its left is “Shio-Ashiya Genki Footbath.”
↑ If you head this way (west), you’ll find the drugstore “Welcia Life Garden Shio-Ashiya” and “Super Maruhachi Minami-Ashiyahama,” among others.
↑ If you go the other way (east), there is a residential area, and if you continue along the road, you’ll reach Hamakaze Ohashi Bridge.
↑ Across the street is around Building No. 4 of the prefectural Minami-Ashiyahama high-rise housing complex.
In Closing
This was a convenience store closely connected to the community, contributing through efforts such as helping prevent special fraud cases and accepting work-experience students from a special needs school, so it’s sad to see it close. We’ll let you know once we find out details such as the opening date of the FamilyMart that will take its place.
Anonymous, thank you for the tip!
