Subway's Grand Reopening in Ibaraki

After a six-year hiatus, Subway is returning to Ibaraki with the grand opening of the `Aeon Mall Mito Uchihara` store on November 11, 2025. This new location will be the second Subway in the region, providing residents with easy access to delicious and customizable sandwiches.

Located just a short 10-minute walk from `Uchihara Station` on the Joban Line, the store will be positioned on the third floor of the Aeon Mall Mito Uchihara, a large shopping complex featuring approximately 200 specialized shops, a cinema, and a diverse range of fashion and lifestyle products. Given its proximity to residential areas and major highways, the mall attracts a wide audience, making it a prime location for Subway's return.

Experience the Convenience of Self-Ordering

The new Subway store will incorporate a `Self-Ordering System`, allowing customers to customize their sandwiches at their own pace, enhancing the overall dining experience. This system is designed to reduce the intimidation that some first-time customers may feel when navigating the usual ordering process, enabling them to enjoy their personalized creations comfortably. With guidance displayed on the ordering screen, customers can easily explore the wide range of fresh ingredients Subway offers.

Subway is particularly excited about reaching out to families and individuals looking for a quick and nutritious meal as they shop or take a break. With expectations high for both weekdays and weekends, the franchise is ready to cater to everyone, regardless of age.

Subway has seen remarkable growth, with revenue from existing stores continuously increasing for the past 61 months. Following the opening of the Aeon Mall Mito location, the total number of Subway branches in Japan is set to rise to 208 stores as of November 6, 2025.

A Brief History of Subway

Founded in 1965 in Connecticut, Subway began as a small sandwich shop started by Fred DeLuca when he was just 17, aiming to save for college. Fast forward to today, Subway has expanded worldwide, with over 100 countries hosting locations. The brand first entered Japan on March 25, 1992, in Minato, Tokyo, and has since grown its presence across the nation.

At Subway, fresh bread is baked daily, and high-quality ingredients such as roast beef, shrimp, avocado, and fresh vegetables are hand-selected and prepared by dedicated sandwich artists, ensuring each sandwich is crafted with passion and care.
