TOGO'S is an American fast casual restaurant chain specializing in sandwiches. Founded in 1971 in San Jose, California, TOGO'S has grown to become a popular choice for sandwich lovers, known for its generous portions and fresh ingredients.

History[edit | edit source]

TOGO'S was established by a San Jose State University student, Mike Cobler, who opened the first location near the university campus. The original concept was to provide hearty sandwiches made with high-quality ingredients, catering to the appetites of college students and locals alike.

In the 1980s, TOGO'S began franchising, which led to rapid expansion throughout California and eventually into other states. The brand became known for its "West Coast Original" style, emphasizing fresh produce, meats, and artisan breads.

In addition to sandwiches, TOGO'S offers salads, wraps, and soups. The chain is committed to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, which has contributed to its reputation for quality.

Operations[edit | edit source]

This model has helped maintain a community-focused approach, with each franchisee tailoring their offerings to local tastes and preferences.
