Matsuya Urawa-Otakubo Branch Drops Matsunoya Hours Notice from Business Hours Listing, Now Reads "24-Hour Operation"

The business hours listing for Matsuya Urawa-Otakubo Branch (0607) has been changed. It previously read “24-hour operation *Matsunoya hours: 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, last order 15 minutes before closing,” but the latter note has been removed, leaving only “24-hour operation.” The store is a Matsunoya co-located location in Otakubo, Minami Ward, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, and the Matsuya side continues to operate 24 hours as before.

Change to the Business Hours Listing

The change concerns the business hours listing. The before and after read as follows.

• Before: 24-hour operation *Matsunoya hours: 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, last order 15 minutes before closing
• After: 24-hour operation

The note informing customers of the co-located Matsunoya’s hours (8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, last order 15 minutes before closing) is gone, consolidating the listing into one that shows only Matsuya’s 24-hour operation. The listing indicating that the store has a co-located Matsunoya remains in place, suggesting this is simply a streamlining of the hours listing. The current wording offers no information that definitively shows how Matsunoya’s actual hours have changed.

A Note Common to 24-Hour Stores with a Co-located Matsunoya

Adding “*Matsunoya hours: 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, last order 15 minutes before closing” to the business hours field is a note that has also been used in common across multiple 24-hour Matsuya stores with a co-located Matsunoya. At Urawa-Otakubo Branch, it is only the Matsunoya-specific hours note that has dropped out of this shared format.

A Series of Updates Around Business Hours and Matsunoya Co-location

Since late June, updates related to store business hours and Matsunoya co-location have continued across various locations. On June 30, an expansion to 24-hour operation was confirmed at multiple stores, and on July 1, renovations involving Matsunoya co-location overlapped at multiple stores. This latest listing change at Urawa-Otakubo Branch appears to be one instance amid this ongoing review of store operations taking place at locations across the chain.
