LEGO City set 40578, “Sandwich Shop”, depicts a small urban sandwich shop with minifigures and scene accessories. Released in 2022, it belongs to the City theme and contains 110 pieces focused on a compact everyday retail setting.
“Sandwich Shop” fits the LEGO City approach to everyday urban life, with small businesses, services and street scenes that can sit alongside other town builds. The subject is a sandwich shop, making it suitable for a commercial street, a neighbourhood layout or a broader city display.
The build uses 110 pieces and is designed as a compact scene rather than a large structure.
It is suited to City collectors who want another everyday business for a layout, and to builders who enjoy role play around shops and street activity. On display, it can stand as a small vignette, while in a larger LEGO town it adds variety to a row of services or shops. Within the City range, it works mainly as a compact add-on that helps make an urban scene feel inhabited.
