I went to the direct supermarket "foodium Dojima" for the first time in three years and a half since the early morning on the opening day on the first day of the morning

Daiei built a big group with the policy of "cheaply and cheaply good products". From the latter half of the 1990s, business performance has deteriorated and the retail sector has been shrunk, but Daiei went to see it soon after opening a directly operated store for three and a half years.

The place is the 1st floor of the Umeda Shindo building in Dojima 1 - chome 1 - 5. On Google Maps, it is a building with the sign "North Japan Newspaper", when you look at Street View you still see Nomura Securities, the former tenant.

It is a completely new style shop, which is different from the Daiei store so far with different logos etc ..


The nearest is the Oeemashi station on the Keihan Nakanoshima line (2 minutes on foot), but it also takes about 5 minutes on foot from the Umeda station (Higashi Umeda station, Nishi Umeda station) of the subway and Hanshin. Incidentally, if you came through an underground shopping center such as Whity or Dea Mall, there is Lawson before foodium.


Opening is at 8 o'clock but preparations for that have been in progress.




Tissue was dealt on site.


Suddenly when I noticed it was 30 minutes before opening. A queue has begun to be formed.


As expected it was early in the morning of the weekday, I thought that it is not so crowded at shops where it is not a residential area, but the queue will grow as you see it.


As soon as the entrance to the store can not be seen.


Tape cutting was done from 7:50 in front of the store.



However, the matrix grows long, and from the last tail it is in such a state that I do not know the situation of tape cutting at all. The left end of the image below is the last, and the end near the right end is the beginning of the column. It is a length level that crosses the front of the next building further, so you should know how much frightful you are.


It opened safely at 8 o'clock.


A person entered the store like a rage.


Foodium According to Shiomatsu manager of Dojima, this shop has a range of matching products such as 300 kinds of delica and sweets, processed breads in the shop, so that it meets the needs of busy people in the office It is said that it is a new urban type supermarket which is open for hours.

Not meeting with convenience stores on equal terms, foodium Dojima, who was born as a supermarket superior to convenience stores, the state of the store is in the following article.
