IcoraMall Izumisano

IcoraMall Izumisano (いこらも〜る泉佐野) is a large shopping mall located in Shimogawara 2-chome, Izumisano City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan, along Prefectural Route 63 (formerly Route 26). It originally opened on March 2, 2000, as Shoppers Mall Izumisano (ショッパーズモール泉佐野), developed by the Japanese retail group Daiei on the former site of a Tokyo Rope manufacturing plant. It was notable as Japan's first circuit-mall-style shopping center. The mall was one of Daiei's last large-scale shopping mall openings before the company entered state-backed rehabilitation under the Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan in 2004. Although it was initially slated for closure during Daiei's restructuring, it survived and was transferred to Xymax Corporation in 2006. The in-mall Daiei Izumisano store was converted to a Gourmet City supermarket in October 2006, and the store area was significantly reduced. In May 2014, Gourmet City closed, and in June 2014 the facility was renamed IcoraMall Izumisano following a public naming contest. A Co-op supermarket opened in the former Gourmet City space in November 2014. Today, the mall serves as a community-oriented shopping destination with a mix of fashion, food, lifestyle goods, and services, including tenants such as K's Denki, Don Quijote, Uniqlo, Shimamura, Nishimatsuya, KFC, Saizeriya, and Yayoiken. It is operated by Xymax Properties Kansai, a subsidiary of Xymax Corporation. The mall is accessible via a five-minute walk from Ihara-no-sato Station on the Nankai Main Line and about five minutes by car from the Izumisano-kita Interchange on the Hanshin Expressway Route 4 Bayshore Line.

IcoraMall Izumisano opened on March 2, 2000, as Shoppers Mall Izumisano, developed by Daiei on the former site of a Tokyo Rope factory in Izumisano City, Osaka Prefecture. It was Japan's first circuit-mall-style shopping center and represented one of Daiei's final large-scale mall developments before the company entered rehabilitation under the Industrial Revitalization Corporation of Japan in 2004. In February 2005, Daiei announced the closure of 53 stores nationwide, including Shoppers Mall Izumisano. However, following a review announced on September 29, 2005, the mall was removed from the closure list along with 11 other stores due to expected performance recovery. In February 2006, Daiei transferred ownership and management to Xymax Corporation, and the in-mall Daiei Izumisano store closed on February 28, 2006. On March 11, 2006, a Gourmet City supermarket opened in its place, focusing on food, daily necessities, and apparel accessories, but the store area was reduced from approximately 16,300 m² to 3,500 m². The annual sales target for 2006 was 2.6 billion yen. Xymax entrusted operations to its subsidiary Xymax Properties Kansai. In May 2014, Gourmet City closed, and on June 1, 2014, the mall was renamed IcoraMall Izumisano after a public naming contest held from March 15 to April 6, 2014. On November 21, 2014, a Co-op supermarket opened in the renovated former Gourmet City space. The mall continues to operate as a community shopping center with a diverse tenant mix.
