Subway Opens Its New Outlet in Sannomiya, Kobe

Subway, the popular sandwich chain managed by WATAMI FAST CASUAL MANAGEMENT, is set to launch its latest store at Kobe Marui on April 23, 2025. This new addition will be conveniently located in the bustling Sannomiya area, just a minute's walk from the Hankyu Kobe Sannomiya station.

A Prime Location

The Kobe Marui, a large commercial facility, is strategically situated right in front of the Kobe Sannomiya Station. This accessibility makes it ideal for shoppers, commuters, and tourists who are exploring nearby attractions. With more than 70 brands under one roof, the shopping center attracts a diverse clientele, making Subway a perfect fit for the location. The management expects a wide range of customers, including residents, students, and visitors of all ages.

Innovative Ordering Experience

What sets the new Subway Kobe Marui store apart is its implementation of a self-order system. This user-friendly technology allows customers, including first-time visitors, to order at their own pace. While Subway is renowned for its customizable sandwiches, the ordering process can sometimes feel daunting for newcomers. However, with the guided instructions on the ordering screen, customers can feel empowered to create their personalized sandwiches without pressure. Subway strongly encourages everyone to come and enjoy this innovative ordering experience.

Consistent Success

As of April 2025, Subway has enjoyed 54 consecutive months of sales growth across its existing locations. The opening of the new Kobe Marui store will raise the total number of Subway restaurants in Japan to 197, marking yet another milestone for the expanding chain.

Subway's Rich History

Subway was founded in 1965 in Connecticut, USA, by Fred DeLuca, who started the sandwich shop to save money for college tuition. The original concept of customizing sandwiches according to individual preferences has resonated with customers worldwide, leading to the chain's expansion into over 100 countries. In Japan, Subway has a rich history since opening its first location in Minato Ward, Tokyo, on March 25, 1992. Customers can expect freshly baked bread daily, delicious fillings like roast beef and shrimp avocado, combined with fresh vegetables, all prepared with care by their skilled sandwich artists.
