閉店

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 閉店 (へいてん) is an event noun, used with する, for a shop ending its business operations.
• Basic usage: 月末で閉店する predicates when a bookstore ends operations, while 閉店後 forms a temporal expression for counting inventory after that closure.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Closure event and subsequent time
  • 閉店後 turns 閉店 into a temporal reference point. Counting inventory therefore occurs after the closure rather than simultaneously with it.
