Hey y’all! 

In 2013 the GRAN branch opened its doors to students in the Ogaki area. I heard a long time ago that the branch was named GRAN because it combined HOMES, Shimon and Hello!s under one roof. Not sure if this true or if I remember this correctly, but that’s what I heard. Anyways, 10 years ago I was graduating from high school, so it’s just a year or 10’s for me! I’ve been at GRAN since 2019 and I’ve loved every moment. I won’t lie, my transition into the branch was hard, but I’ve genuinely appreciated all the good and not so good experiences throughout my time here. I’m forever grateful to the staff for always being kind and understanding to me and my inability to speak Japanese. I look forward to my continued time at GRAN. 

Come say happy birthday to GRAN!

Please enjoy some pics of GRAN over the years and see y’all in class!
