Sandwich Shop

The Sandwich Shop 40578 is a compact City set built around a small food stall, the kind found on pedestrian streets everywhere. With 110 pieces and 2 minifigures, it comes ready with both a seller and a customer, so you can act out a small everyday scene straight away. The colours white, dark tan, bright green and red give the stall its fresh, appetising look.

Description

One stall, two roles

With 2 minifigures, the set covers both key roles in a shop scene: one figure behind the counter, one in front as a customer. That makes the Sandwich Shop a natural building block for a bigger City street scene, where several small shops and stalls sit side by side. For younger builders, this gives a compact but complete everyday story to act out, without needing to build a whole building first. The figures also mix easily with other City sets already in a collection.

65 different parts in a small footprint

Out of 110 pieces total, 65 distinct elements stands out as a high share, a clear sign of a detailed build despite the compact size. A food stall lives on exactly this kind of detail: a counter, a display, small props like food items or tools that make the stall feel believable. That variety of specialised pieces keeps the build engaging, since almost every step introduces something new. Anyone hunting for small prop pieces for their own diorama projects will find the parts list on this page a useful source.

White, tan, green and red signal fresh food

The colour choice of white, dark tan, bright green and red deliberately evokes fresh ingredients and an inviting shopfront: white and tan for the stall's structure, bright green for fresh vegetables or an awning, red as an eye-catching, classic food-stall colour. This combination pairs well with other City sets in the food category, such as market stalls or cafés, for building a coherent shopping street. The exact colour breakdown across every piece is listed in the full parts list.

A compact set with street-scene potential

At 110 pieces, the Sandwich Shop stays small enough to build quickly and slot straight into an existing City collection. It works particularly well as an addition to a larger town set, or as a standalone mini project for a quiet afternoon. The combination of 2 minifigures, 65 distinct pieces and a clearly recognisable theme means the finished result feels coherent despite its modest size, whether displayed alone or as part of a wider City street.
