Subway to Open in Kohoku Area of Yokohama

WATAMI FAST CASUAL MANAGEMENT Inc., headquartered in Ota, Tokyo, is thrilled to announce the opening of its new Subway sandwich chain location at the Konan Kohoku Interchange store. This store is scheduled to welcome customers on October 1, 2026, and will be situated within the food court of this popular home center in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture.

The Konan Kohoku Interchange store is not just a home center; it sits adjacent to a large supermarket that draws local residents for regular shopping. This area has become a bustling hub, especially on weekends and holidays when families flock to enjoy their day out. Throughout the week, a diverse crowd, including office workers and neighborhood residents, frequently visits the center. The store's strategic location is anticipated to attract not only nearby consumers but also customers traveling from afar, creating a diverse clientele of all ages.

With the addition of Subway, this vibrant locale will cater to a range of dining occasions—from quick meals during shopping trips to lunch breaks for busy professionals. The company has set expectations for steady patronage on both weekdays and weekends, thanks to its versatile offerings.

Subway is also introducing a self-ordering system in this new outlet. This user-friendly feature allows patrons, including first-time visitors, to place their orders at their own pace. The self-service interface is designed to guide customers through the ordering process, making it easy for even those who might find the traditional ordering method daunting. By following the on-screen instructions, customers can customize their sandwiches according to preferences, ensuring everyone can enjoy their meal experience to the fullest. We encourage everyone, especially newcomers to Subway, to give it a try!

As of September 2026, Subway has seen a continuous growth in sales across its existing locations for 71 consecutive months. With the opening of the Kohoku location, the total number of Subway restaurants in Japan is projected to reach 240.

Subway was founded in 1965 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, when Fred DeLuca, at just 17, opened a small sandwich shop to help fund his college tuition. What began as a single location has blossomed into a global favorite, adopted for its made-to-order style that caters to individual tastes in over 100 countries today. Since establishing its first Japanese outlet in Minato, Tokyo, on March 25, 1992, Subway has grown its presence nationwide.

Daily baked bread fills the restaurant with delightful aromas, while our dedicated staff, known as Sandwich Artists, craft each sandwich with fresh, high-quality ingredients such as roast beef, shrimp with avocado, and crisp vegetables, ensuring a satisfying experience with every bite.
