Fuji Round One Store: From Standalone to Matsunoya Co-located

Gaikan Yao Store: Switching from My Curry Shokudo Co-location to Matsunoya Co-location
Matsuya Gaikan Yao Store (0897, 3-190-1 Shikicho-minami, Yao City, Osaka Prefecture) was previously a My Curry Shokudo co-located store, but will switch to a Matsunoya co-located store after renovation. This is an unusual renovation pattern in which the type of co-located brand itself changes.

The switch from a My Curry Shokudo co-located store to a Matsunoya co-located store represents a different pattern within the wave of Matsunoya co-location renovations that has been underway since April — one centered mainly on converting existing standalone stores into Matsunoya co-located stores. This case instead involves swapping out an existing co-located brand. Since the number of My Curry Shokudo co-located stores is itself smaller than that of Matsunoya co-located stores, this is a rare move.
The Wave of Matsunoya Co-location Renovations Since May
Since May, Matsunoya co-location renovations have been proceeding one after another, and with these two stores, the cumulative number of stores that have temporarily closed since the start of May reaches 10.

| May 18, 2026, 15:00 (This Report) | Matsuya Gaikan Yao Store (0897) | My Curry Shokudo co-located → switched to Matsunoya co-located | June 3, 2026, 18:00 |
Over the eight days from May 11 to May 18, Matsunoya co-location renovations have run for 9 stores (effectively 10, including the two stores reported today), and the May wave of Matsunoya co-location renovations continues.
The Significance of Gaikan Yao Store’s Co-located Brand Switch
The Matsunoya co-location renovations since April have mainly followed the pattern of converting standalone stores into Matsunoya co-located stores. This time, Gaikan Yao Store follows a different pattern — switching from an existing My Curry Shokudo co-located store to a Matsunoya co-located store — and its renovation period has also been set longer than other stores (approximately 16 days).
The conversion of a store previously operated as a My Curry Shokudo co-located store into a Matsunoya co-located store is an unusual pattern within the wave of Matsunoya co-location renovations since April. It appears to reflect an adjustment in business-format judgment over which of the two brands — My Curry Shokudo or Matsunoya — to select as the co-located format for that particular location. The reopening time being set at 18:00, resulting in a new-look opening from the evening, also differs from other Matsunoya co-location renovations, which have mostly reopened at 10:00 AM.
Editor's Note
Gaikan Yao Store's renovation switches it from My Curry Shokudo co-location to Matsunoya co-location — an unusual pattern within the wave of co-location renovations since April.
