Yoikōun Factory (Building)

The Yoikōun Factory (previously named the Wada Groceries) was originally owned by the Wada Family between 1965-2020 when the building was operated as a grocery store. Following the company decline in the early 2010's to late 2020 citing stiff competition and the store's deteriorating condition due to lack of maintenance, the property was closed down and the property were put on sale.
Despite the decrepit condition of the building, the family were able to patch it up instead of making a very expensive repairs and made the building look as if it was in "good" condition for the inspection team to declare it as such. The property was on sale for a year until Nick Takahashi took ownership of the property, renaming it to the Yoikōun Factory, named after the Omori Factory that he visited a couple months ago, and converting it for use as both his living space and the auto shop, unaware that he has fallen into a death trap.

The building was designed by Mami Fujiwara as a two story building and built by Ellen Reality. The building was designed with safety and convenience in mind, with the state-of-the-art fire suppressor system and the use of frames steel tubes which allowed rooms and spaces to be rearranged however the owner wanted.
The first floor consists of your typical grocery store, ranging from dairy product to diner, while on the second floor is their office room and the restaurant area which is ran by a separate company. 
When the construction was finished, it was noted by the press for the building's function-over-form which gave the building an ugly appearance, but praised for Its use of fire resistant material and the fire suppression system when the Wada family demonstrated it's level and tested out for the news and audience to see.

=== As Wada Groceries ===
The first family-owned grocery store & restaurant in the British Lalonunu
~1965 Newspaper AdverismentAfter the grocery store was opened on April 24, 1965, it was an instant hit, attracting customers within Kiyogawa to shop for goods and the convenience of locally-sourced raw food known simply as the Farmer's Market. The restaurant was opened on May 2, now giving the customers the option to either shop for food or eat at the second floor. Ran by a separate company, both the company and the family were praised for it's cheap price on locally-sourced good and the friendly customer service.
By 1992, the restaurant closed down after the company went bankrupt, and the family later contacted the original contractor to renovate the building, expanding the area to include a small food court and demolish most of the second floor area to make way for a newer office area and employee lounge area. The building was also refurbished with modern entities, addition to baker and farmer markets and maintenance were done on the building. It was also a good time as competition between the other grocery shops were just getting started.
By the late 2010's, cracks begins to show. The competitors were starting to gain traction
