Sandwich Artists. Quality and customization are at the heart of what Subway represents, and this new branch is no exception.

A Rich History
Founded in 1965 in Connecticut, USA, by Fred DeLuca, Subway started as a humble sandwich shop. Fred’s vision was to help save money for college, and this led to the opening of what would eventually evolve into a global franchise, with over 100 countries hosting Subway locations today. The brand entered the Japanese market on March 25, 1992, and has since expanded across the nation, bringing its fresh, customized sandwich offerings to countless patrons.
As Subway continues to innovate and adapt, the new Shizuoka branch promises to be a beloved addition to Hiyashuku, enhancing the community's culinary landscape and offering a friendly environment for families and individuals alike. Don’t miss out on visiting the new store and experiencing everything Subway has to offer!
