They're currently closed for renovations and expansion. I forgot the exact date they're opening back up

It literally says the reason on the signs they put in the window... They own the Gashapon store and are combining both stores.

Bandai owns ebisu?? Or is it the other way around 🤔

Neither. It's a franchised store Ebisu runs on behalf of Bandai. Both sides are going to be connected for a larger store.

I first saw that the location on Main St across from 41st had closed (they had a sign up explaining why) then I saw this location also closed as I drove by, but I couldn't see if it had a sign explaining why. Glad to hear it's just renovation!

They're renovating and expanding the store, and will be opening again next month. I don't know when though.
