The eyewear store 「メガネの芦屋」, located in Kōmitsu-chō along the Naruo–Mikage Line, is relocating to the third floor of a newly constructed building just north of Hanshin Ashiya Station and will apparently be renamed 「芦屋眼鏡舗」〜

↑A relocation notice had been posted outside the store.
The current 「メガネの芦屋」 location will remain open through Sunday, November 30, with Sunday, December 14 as the final day for order pickups.
The new 「芦屋眼鏡舗」 location is scheduled to open on Monday, December 22〜

↑The relocated 「芦屋眼鏡舗」 has launched an Instagram account under the name “ASHIYA OPTICAL STORE.” It looks like the shop will prioritize customers with reservations. It’s shaping up to be a very stylish store〜
