From what it looks like, Togo’s commitment to creating bold new sandwich options is paying off. Anyone who loves sandwiches continues to flock to the fast food chain, looking for something new and delicious to try.
A Legacy of Sandwiches: From a College Hangout to a Nationwide Favorite
Like most fast food chains, Togo’s wasn’t always the sandwich shop giant we know today. But unlike most of them, it actually started out as a small San Jose State University hangout. Mike Cobler, a college student, had the idea of starting a business with a simple idea: to make great sandwiches with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Mike named the sandwich shop “Togo’s” which comes from its original location — a small space “to go” for food. What started out as a simple place for hungry students to grab a bite has now turned into a sandwich brand known all over the West Coast.

Togo’s rise to popularity was really fast. Students and locals loved the place thanks to its generous portions and friendly service. Over the years, Togo’s expanded beyond its college town roots and spread all across the United States. Today, it’s one of the biggest sandwich shops around with hundreds of locations nationwide. Despite their success, they still hold onto their core values of serving fresh ingredients and big, satisfying sandwiches.
