The Next Generation Vending Machine 'S:CUBE' Debuts at Tokyu Store Sagiuma

The Tokyu Store Sagiuma in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, has recently installed the innovative next-generation vending machine known as S:CUBE. This installation is part of a project developed by Wako Sangyo Co., Ltd., based in Fuchu City, Tokyo. The S:CUBE vending machine is equipped with digital signage and includes models for both frozen goods and retail products, specifically the S:CUBE Zero. This new addition comes as a replacement for the Furelu Sagiuma store, which closed its doors and reopened on April 8, 2025, providing a fresh shopping environment for local customers.

A New Shopping Experience

The Tokyu Store Sagiuma has a diverse range of products tailored to match the lifestyles of its customers, including fresh produce, in-house made prepared foods, grocery items, and frozen products. Operating hours are from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM, making it a convenient option for consumers. Located just a two-minute walk from Saginuma Station on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line, access to the store is hassle-free.

As they approach their 55th anniversary in business, they continue to adapt and innovate within the industry. The S:CUBE project illustrates their commitment to revolutionizing vending experiences by catering to changing consumer needs and preferences.

Recent shifts in vending machine functionality are noteworthy. The traditional model, which primarily offered beverages, is evolving to include a variety of products such as frozen foods and everyday necessities. This change has been accelerated by the rise in demand for contactless shopping due to the COVID-19 pandemic, marking a significant transition in the vending industry.

The vending machine market is entering a modern era, with an increasing shift towards versatile machines that utilize IoT and AI technologies to enhance user experience and operational efficiency. Wako Sangyo is at the forefront of this transformation.
