Japanese Bakery Pompadour Expands with New Location in Yokohama
Yokohama-based bakery Pompadour is continuing its expansion with a new store opening in the BASEGATE Yokohama Kannai complex on March 19, 2026, according to Travel Yokohama. The company, founded in 1969 in Yokohama’s Motomachi district, will offer its signature freshly baked breads and a selection of food items exclusive to the new location.
The new store is situated in a green environment, providing a unique atmosphere for customers. Pompadour’s original location in Motomachi, established over five decades ago, remains a popular destination. The Motomachi store is located at 4-171 Motomachi, Naka-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture 231-0861 and can be reached at 045-681-3956. This proves open from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with no fixed closing days, and features dine-in options, as detailed on Pompadour’s official website.
The expansion comes as Japanese consumers show increasing interest in artisanal baked goods and convenient dining options. Recent reports also indicate strong consumer demand for branded merchandise from popular food and beverage companies. Notably, Starbucks’ eco-bags and Blue Bottle Coffee’s cup-shaped tumblers have garnered significant attention, as reported by ITmedia. Similarly, Franfran’s travel bags and eco-bags have also been popular with consumers, as noted by Yahoo! News.
The Motomachi store is easily accessible via the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line and the Minatomirai Line, specifically a seven-minute walk from Ishikawacho Station or Motomachi-Chukagai Station. Tabelog provides further details and customer reviews of the original location.
