Togo's

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Togo's Eateries, Inc. (pronounced Toe-Go's) is a chain of fast-food sandwich restaurants owned by Dunkin' Brands Inc. Their slogan is Togo's Great Sandwiches.

In the U.S., it is often combined with Dunkin' Donuts donut shops and Baskin-Robbins ice cream shops, both owned by the same parent company, in the same building. Most of its stores are franchises. Some Togo's that are co-located with Dunkin' Donuts have been rebranded as Dunkin' Deli, with the same menu as Togo's.

[edit] History

The first Togo's was opened in downtown San Jose, California in the late 1960s by two guys named Tom and Gordon (hence the name Togo's). The first shop was located in the heart of San Jose State University's Fraternity district. In 1971, they sold the tiny shop to a local college student, Michael T. Cobler.

Several other Togo's opened up in the 1970s. Many were still in their original buildings until the late 1990s. The original Togo's closed in 2001.

In 1997, Togo's was acquired by the Dunkin' Brands portfolio of fast-food restaurants.

In 2001, there are approximately 350 Togo's sandwich shops, which serve over 30 different types of sandwiches.
