Reorganization Patterns
Two patterns can be seen in the update.
Full Cleanup (a few stores)
Example: Matsuya Nagoya Yakumadori Store
- Before: 24-hour operation ※Temporary Closure April 14: 2:00-6:00, April 15: 2:00-9:00, April 16: 2:00-9:00
- After: 24-hour operation (temporary closure notation completely removed)
Only Upcoming Dates Retained (majority)
Example: Matsuya Nagoya Akaike Store
- Before: 24-hour operation ※Temporary Closure April 16 through 18, April 22, April 25, April 26: 22:00-8:00 the next day, April 29: 2:00-4:00
- After: 24-hour operation ※Temporary Closure April 26: 22:00-8:00 the next day, April 29: 2:00-4:00
The elapsed dates (April 14-25) were removed, leaving only the remaining schedule from today, April 26, through the end of the month.
Third Update for the Chubu/Kansai Area in April
This update to the temporary closure schedule for the Chubu and Kansai area is the third such update in April.
| Date | Count | Details |
|---|---|---|
| April 1 | 65 stores | Added schedule for early-to-mid April |
| April 12 | 60 stores | Removed elapsed dates and organized remaining schedule |
| April 17 | 85 stores | Added schedule for late April |
| April 26 | 68 stores | Removed elapsed dates and organized remaining late-April schedule |
This appears to be the final round of adjustments ahead of the end of April, clarifying the shortened late-night hours planned at each store for the remaining five days, April 26-30.
Editor's Note
April's late-night shortened hours are in their final stretch. Matsuya's meticulousness shines through in how precisely it removes dates that have already passed.
