Green Walk Tama's 'Shokuhinkan Aoba' Opening This Fall! Foocot Also Moving In Nearby

'Shokuhinkan Aoba' at the Former Berg Site — Opening Fall 2026

Shokuhinkan Aoba is operated by Bic Rise Co., Ltd., headquartered in Yokohama, Kanagawa.
The company traces its roots to a produce shop called 'Nakajima Seika,' and has built particular strength in four departments: produce, meat, fresh fish, and daily essentials.
With 35 stores across Kanagawa and Tokyo, the chain has earned a loyal following for its fresh food selection and competitive prices.

Many existing stores are known for their direct-from-farm produce sections and daily morning deliveries of fresh fish, earning a reputation for quality.
Frequent flyer sales also make it an ideal fit for everyday neighborhood shopping.
For more details, visit the official Bic Rise website.

The new store will open at the former Berg site (2-56 Besso, Hachioji) inside Green Walk Tama.
A job listing site already lists the location as 'Opening Fall 2026,' and recruitment for opening staff is underway.
A specific opening date has not been announced — watch for updates this fall.

Foocot Coming to the Other Side of the Street — Planned Opening December 24

Across the road from Green Walk Tama, at 1-22-2 Karakida, Tama City — the former site of Kawachi Yakuhin and Marugame Seimen — a major new supermarket is on the way.
Foocot Tama-Karakida, a discount supermarket from the Yaoko Group, is planning to open on December 24 of the same year.

Foocot specializes in large-volume, low-price merchandise.
The store will span 5,492 m² with 264 parking spaces, making it the sixth Foocot location overall — and the first to open in the Tama area.

Having Shokuhinkan Aoba and Foocot in such close proximity is an unusual situation.
For local residents, it means more options. A welcome development.
The Karakida area is shaping up as a place where people can shop for everyday groceries and bulk purchases without going far.

Residents Cheer — A Long Wait Finally Over

When Berg closed in May 2026, the community responded with messages like 'Thank you for 19 years' and 'We hope another food store moves in someday.'
Now that Shokuhinkan Aoba's arrival has been confirmed, the reaction on social media has been overwhelmingly positive.
Multiple posts expressing excitement were spotted on Yahoo! Real-time Search, reflecting just how eagerly anticipated this news is.

The prospect of a fresh-food-focused supermarket returning has given many residents a sense of relief.
A long-awaited development — the gap is finally being filled.
With Foocot joining the mix, the range of shopping choices is about to expand dramatically.

About Green Walk Tama

Green Walk Tama is a mixed-use retail complex that opened in 2007 in the southwestern part of Tama New Town.
Anchored by Kohnan (a home improvement center), it also houses Sushiro, fashion retailers, and a variety of other shops.
Located at 2-56 Besso, Hachioji, it is about a 20-minute walk from Karakida Station on the Odakyu Tama Line.

The complex is surrounded by residential neighborhoods that straddle both Tama City and Hachioji, and is primarily accessed by car.
Since Berg — the anchor food tenant — closed in May 2026, many residents have been traveling elsewhere for groceries, making the arrival of new tenants a story that directly affects daily life in the area.
