AEON Fujiidera Shopping Center

AEON Fujiidera Shopping Center (イオン藤井寺ショッピングセンター) is a shopping center in Okahigashi 2-chome, Fujiidera City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. It is managed and operated by AEON Mall Co., Ltd., the shopping-center development arm of the AEON Group. The center opened on December 1, 1973 as Fujiidera Shopping Center, the fourth store of the then Diamond City chain. It was planned partly to disperse customers from the highly popular first Diamond City store, Higashisumiyoshi Shopping Center, which had opened in June 1970 in what is now Hirano Ward, Osaka. The Fujiidera site, along the Sakai-Yamato-Takada main prefectural road north of Fujiidera Station on the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line, was chosen from several candidates. The center was one of the last to open under the first JUSCO logo era. In 1988 an annex called APT opened, and in 2003 the facility was renovated and reopened. In August 2007 Diamond City merged with AEON Mall, and the operator became AEON Mall; the name was changed to AEON Mall Fujiidera. The core store, JUSCO Fujiidera, was renamed AEON Fujiidera on March 1, 2011, when AEON unified the names of its general-merchandise stores under the AEON brand. The center closed temporarily on February 28, 2014 for rebuilding. At the time the closure was announced on November 12, 2013, it had about 70 tenants. It reopened on September 14, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. as AEON Fujiidera Shopping Center. Its core store is AEON Food Style Fujiidera, operated by Daiei; this was the first case in the Kinki region of a Daiei store opening in a commercial facility operated by AEON Mall. The center is about a two-minute walk from Fujiidera Station on the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line. Major tenants include AEON Food Style, Joshin, GU, Honey's, Cocokara Fine, Nitori Express, Megane Ichiba, Daiso, Avanti Book Center, Plaza Capcom, Ringer Hut, Sugakiya, Hanamaru Udon, Starbucks Coffee, Baskin-Robbins, and Chidoriya Soke. The official website lists opening hours of 10:00–20:00 for specialty stores (including food court and restaurants) and 9:00–22:00 for AEON Food Style, with some stores differing.

The center opened on December 1, 1973 as Fujiidera Shopping Center, the fourth store of Diamond City. Diamond City's first store, Higashisumiyoshi Shopping Center, had opened in June 1970 in what is now Hirano Ward, Osaka, and was so popular that a fourth store was planned near Higashisumiyoshi to disperse customers. Several sites were considered, and the location along the Sakai-Yamato-Takada main prefectural road north of Fujiidera Station on the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line was chosen. It was the last store to open during the era of JUSCO's first logo. In 1988, an annex called APT opened. In 2003, the center was renovated and reopened. In August 2007, Diamond City merged with AEON Mall, and the operator became AEON Mall; the name was changed to AEON Mall Fujiidera. The core store, JUSCO Fujiidera, was renamed AEON Fujiidera on March 1, 2011, when AEON unified the names of its general-merchandise stores under the AEON brand. The center closed temporarily on February 28, 2014 for rebuilding. At the time the closure was announced on November 12, 2013, it had about 70 tenants. In Fujiidera City, a three-year project from fiscal 2013 renewed the city road Fujiidera Station North Line from the north station plaza to Prefectural Road 12 Sakai-Yamato-Takada. In the area including AEON Mall Fujiidera adjacent to that route, a land-readjustment project was carried out to unify the two AEON Mall parcels that had been divided by a road, rebuild the mall, and widen surrounding roads. The center reopened on September 14, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. as AEON Fujiidera Shopping Center. Its core store is AEON Food Style Fujiidera, operated by Daiei; this was the first case in the Kinki region of a Daiei store opening in a commercial facility operated by AEON Mall. The center is about a two-minute walk from Fujiidera Station on the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line. Major tenants include AEON Food Style, Joshin, GU, Honey's, Cocokara Fine, Nitori Express, Megane Ichiba, Daiso, Avanti Book Center, Plaza Capcom, Ringer Hut, Sugakiya, Hanamaru Udon, Starbucks Coffee, Baskin-Robbins, and Chidoriya Soke. Nearby is sol'ya, a Kintetsu-affiliated shopping center by Fujiidera Station with tenants such as Lopia, McDonald's, and COSPA.
