Togo's Eatery
Togo's was opened in Northern California in the early 1970s by a guy who didn't have a business plan. He just made reasonably priced sandwiches the way he liked them - made to order in a deli-style format and stuffed with fresh, wholesome ingredients. Soon there were lines out the door and Togo's was well on its way to becoming California's most loved sandwich shop. Now, nearly 40 years later, Togo's is still crafting the best sandwiches, on the West Coast, with over 240 franchise restaurants serving over a million guests per month. Our bread is baked every day, especially for us, and we've added our own selection of hearty soups, fresh salads and specialty wraps worthy of the Togo's name.
