Matsuya Suwa Store to Add Matsunoya Co-location Right After Temporary Closure
At 16:22 on May 28, 2026, the store data on the official Matsuya website added “(Matsunoya Co-located)” to the store name listing for “Matsuya Suwa Store” (store code 0993, 1825-1 Akanuma, Shiga, Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture), and the co-located brand field was updated to reflect “Matsunoya.” Suwa Store, which entered temporary closure at 15:00 that same day, May 28, 2026, had its reopening as a Matsunoya co-located store announced roughly 1 hour and 22 minutes later. The reopening is scheduled for 10:00 on June 11, 2026, putting the renovation period at approximately 14 days.

When the schedule was first added on May 12, the co-located brand field was blank, and the closure was treated as a renovation-related temporary closure for a standalone Matsuya store. The co-location was reflected 1 hour and 22 minutes after the temporary closure began (15:00 on 5/28), setting up the store to reopen as a Matsunoya co-located store at 10:00 on June 11.

Continuation of the “Co-location Announced Right After Temporary Closure” Pattern
Since May, Matsuya has repeated an operational pattern of announcing Matsunoya co-location on the official website around 1 to 2 hours after a store’s temporary closure begins. Suwa Store’s announcement this time, at roughly 1 hour and 22 minutes after closure, sits close to Tatsuno Store (1 hour 1 minute), Sawara Store (1 hour 28 minutes), Senbayashi Omiya Store (1 hour 52 minutes), and both Asaka Hizaori Store and Aoto Store (2 hours 4 minutes each). The interval from temporary closure to co-location announcement consistently falls within about 1 to 2 hours, with little variation from store to store.

Suwa Store’s location in Nagano Prefecture makes it the second Matsunoya co-location within the prefecture, following Minowacho Store (Minowa Town, Kamiina District, Nagano Prefecture), which entered closure on May 11. Four stores — Suwa Store, Nangodori Store, Gaikan Yao Store, and Senbayashi Omiya Store — will reopen after the month changes over, indicating the renovation rush will continue into June.
Editor's Note
Suwa Store is the 11th store to enter Matsunoya co-location renovation since May. The pattern of announcing co-location within about 1 hour and 22 minutes feels almost formulaic at this point.
