Subway Returns to Ario Kitasuna

After a six-year absence, Subway is thrilled to announce the grand reopening of its Ario Kitasuna location on Wednesday, October 29, 2025. This beloved sandwich chain, operated by WATAMI FAST CASUAL MANAGEMENT, will be situated on the first floor of the bustling food court in the large shopping complex known as Ario Kitasuna, located in Koto City, Tokyo.

The reopening of this store comes following its closure in August 2019, marking a significant moment for both the company and the local community. Ario Kitasuna, surrounded by a vibrant residential area, attracts a variety of visitors daily, especially families. It serves as a prime destination for meals between shopping trips and provides convenient dining options for those returning from work, ensuring a steady stream of customers throughout the week.

In a nod to modern technology and customer convenience, the new Subway location will feature a "Mobile Order" system, allowing guests to place orders without waiting in line. Additionally, the "Self-Order System" is designed to provide a user-friendly experience for first-time customers, enabling them to customize their sandwich preferences confidently and at their own pace. Each customer can utilize the guided prompts on the ordering screen, making it easier than ever to create their perfect sandwich.

Subway's adaptability has led to a consistent upward trend, with existing stores experiencing increased sales for 60 consecutive months. The opening of the Ario Kitasuna location will bring the total number of Subway outlets in Japan to an impressive 207, which showcases the company's ongoing growth and commitment to serving quality sandwiches.
