About TOGO’S: A Proven West-Coast Sub Sandwich Franchise Investment
West coast original sandwich shop with a passion for food franchises since 1971
It all started in The Golden State
In 1971, a young college student with little money but a big dream bought a small sandwich shack. His mission was to make sandwiches exactly the way he wanted them: big in size to match big flavor, made-to-order, and stuffed with fresh ingredients. Overnight, TOGO’S became a favorite for hungry students in San Jose, California.
A second restaurant opened in 1974 in downtown San Jose and franchising began in the late 1970s. TOGO’S fandom quickly spread throughout California. And today, with nearly 180 locations open or in development, we’re working to bring TOGO’S piled-high goodness to markets nationwide.
Deli subs franchise with story and kitchen
Over 50 years later, we can confidently say that we’re just as passionate about sandwiches as our fans are about TOGO’S. After all, you don’t win the title “West Coast Original” in a prize fight—we have fresh-baked artisan breads, premium meats sliced daily and fresh-mashed Hass avocados to thank for that.
And while TOGO’S franchise has never strayed from staying ‘True to the Sandwich,’ we’ve also engaged in a recent brand transformation to meet the modern consumer where they live.
TOGO’S 3.0 combines renovated restaurants with a modern look and feel; POS kiosks and third-party delivery partnerships; and a new “Speed Line” sandwich building kitchen system.
We have successfully reconceptualized 57 existing locations and opened 13 new 3.0 locations, and we have a robust pipeline of new and newly renovated locations slated for completion in 2025 and 2026.
Craveable creations, extra flavor and hold the delay
—that’s the TOGO’S promise.
