Subway to Expand Its Presence in Osaka with New Ekimaresh Osaka Store
Subway, the popular sandwich chain operated by WATAMI FAST CASUAL MANAGEMENT Co., Ltd., is excited to announce the opening of its latest branch, the "Ekimaresh Osaka Store," on September 4, 2026. Located within the bustling commercial facility directly connected to JR Osaka Station, this will be Subway's sixth outlet in the surrounding area.
Ekimaresh Osaka is strategically situated right next to the Sakurabashi exit of JR Osaka Station, boasting a myriad of retail stores including not only dining options but also everyday necessities and souvenirs. This prime location makes it a favorite among commuters, students, and visitors, providing a convenient stop for meals and shopping throughout the day. As one of Japan's busiest terminal stations, JR Osaka Station experiences significant traffic from local residents, office workers, and tourists from across the globe. With this new addition, Subway aims to make its offerings even more accessible to both frequent travelers and newcomers visiting the vibrant city of Osaka.
The Ekimaresh Osaka Store will cater to diverse customer needs, whether for breakfast, lunch, snacks, or takeaway. It is designed to accommodate a wide range of patrons from families and professionals in the area to tourists exploring Osaka. With seating available for 24 guests and a total area of 69.68 square meters, the new store will create a warm and inviting atmosphere for folks looking to enjoy a hearty sandwich.
To enhance customer convenience, the new Subway location will incorporate advanced ordering systems. With a mobile ordering feature and a user-friendly self-ordering system, patrons can skip the line and place their orders at their own pace. This will particularly benefit those who may feel overwhelmed by traditional ordering methods, allowing them to customize their sandwiches with ease. Whether it's a customer's first visit or a regular stop, Subway encourages everyone to experience the joy of creating their ideal sandwich.
As of August 2026, Subway has seen a remarkable 70 consecutive months of sales growth at its existing locations. The forthcoming Ekimaresh Osaka Store will bring the total number of Subway branches across Japan to 238, further solidifying its presence in the competitive market.

Founded in 1965 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Subway started as a sandwich shop created by Fred DeLuca when he was just 17 years old, aiming to save money for college. It has since transformed into a global brand known for its customizable sandwiches, with shops in over 100 countries, including Japan since the first store opened in 1992 in Minato, Tokyo. Each day, fresh bread is baked in-house, and staff, affectionately known as sandwich artists, take pride in creating each sandwich with top-quality ingredients and fresh, crunchy vegetables.
