Hirosaki's cafe "TUBE LANE" ( Dotemachi , Hirosaki City, TEL 0172-35-9515 ) is currently looking for new shopkeepers.

Located in Dotemachi, the store uses old furniture and overseas interiors for interior decoration. It opened in February 2010, and this is the 11th year. Many repeaters go to "fashionable atmosphere" and "a hideaway space". On October 1st, the Instagram page announced that it would be open until October 11th, and at the same time started recruiting new shopkeepers.

According to the current store owner, Kazu Nishitani, he started thinking about closing the store earlier this year. "The store manager, who had been in charge for eight years, wanted to retire, and the staff had to quit, making it difficult to continue the store. I felt it was a waste to lose the store as it is, so I decided to recruit new store owners."

Mr. Nishitani is the owner of the cafe property, has run a select shop, and also handles remodeling and interior coordinators. Acquired the property in 2006 (Heisei 18) and runs a select shop on the first floor. It was renovated to start a cafe on the 2nd floor. “Originally, the property had a retro coffee shop, and we renovated it ourselves while retaining that atmosphere,” says Nishitani.

The store area is 50 tsubo. The number of seats is 28. The management right of the store can be transferred and used as an unoccupied property. I can teach you the current menu, but you can have it made by yourself. "There is no breakdown in the air conditioner and cooking utensils, and if there is something you don't need, we will consult you."

"The impact of the new coronavirus is small, and after the May holidays, we are attracting customers, which is almost the same as last year," says Nishitani. "When I saw the customers relaxing in the store space, I felt strongly that I wanted to keep them. It's a difficult time because I can keep costs down compared to opening a new cafe, but I give it to someone who wants to challenge If possible, "he says.

Inquiries and applications are accepted by phone and email.
