Subway's New Venture in Soka: A Comprehensive Look
Subway, the popular sandwich chain managed by WATAMI FAST CASUAL MANAGEMENT (based in Ota, Tokyo), is set to inaugurate its latest store, Soka Varie, on December 10, 2025. Nestled directly within the Soka Station complex along the Tobu Skytree Line, this new establishment promises to be a valuable addition to the diverse retail options available in the area.
The Soka Varie shopping facility will celebrate its grand reopening on the same day as Subway's launch, featuring a selection of shops ranging from fashion to lifestyle goods. Positioned conveniently at the station, this location aims to attract a wide demographic, including commuters, students, families, and friends looking to enjoy a convenient shopping spree or a quick lunch. As such, the expectations for customer flow are high on both weekdays and weekends.
One of the standout features of the Soka Varie store is its user-friendly ordering systems, which have been introduced to maximize customer convenience. With the implementation of mobile ordering, patrons can skip traditional lines and place their orders whenever they prefer. Additionally, a self-ordering system is in place, making it easy for first-time visitors to customize their sandwiches confidently.
Subway's hallmark is its ability to offer fully customizable sandwiches, appealing to each customer's unique preferences. However, some individuals may feel intimidated by the ordering process. The self-ordering system addresses this concern by providing guided assistance on the ordering screen, enabling customers to take their time and enjoy the customization experience. The team at Subway warmly invites new customers to visit and explore their offerings without hesitation.
As of December 2025, Subway has seen a remarkable consistent sales increase across its existing stores for 62 consecutive months. The opening of the Soka Varie location is expected to expand Subway's footprint to 216 shops nationwide (as of December 9, 2025).
