Togo's is a renowned fast-casual sandwich franchise that began in 1971 in San Jose, California, when a college student opened a small sandwich shop near San Jose State University.
The name "Togo's" originated from the shop's emphasis on take-out service. The franchise is currently headquartered in Campbell, California. Togo's started franchising in 1977 and has since expanded to nearly 180 locations across the western United States.
Togo's specializes in made-to-order sandwiches, wraps, and salads, using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Signature offerings include premium pastrami, hand-mashed Hass avocados, and artisan bread baked daily.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Togo’s provides a detailed training structure to ensure franchisees and their teams are properly equipped to operate a restaurant within its system. Here are the training programs offered:
Togo’s does not offer exclusive territory protection. Each franchise is tied to a specific location and does not prevent the franchisor from opening or licensing other locations nearby. Franchisees may face competition from other Togo’s units or distribution channels.
The franchisor retains full rights to operate or authorize others to operate anywhere, including within the same market. Multi-unit agreements may grant development rights in a defined area, but these do not guarantee exclusivity or customer base protection.
