January 27, 2012
San Jose, Calif.-based fast-casual sandwich chain Togo's Franchisor LLC will open 26 franchise locations and two corporate restaurants in 2012. In addition, the company plans to remodel 80 existing restaurants this year. "We have a vibrant, energized brand that's ready for expansion in our existing markets, as well as an introduction into new cities across Arizona and Oregon," said Tony Gioia, chairman and CEO of Togo's Holdings LLC. "Our regional growth strategy, combined with the debut of our corporate prototype and franchisee remodel program, has set us apart from other sandwich shops, and we look forward to introducing many more customers to our big, made-to-order sandwiches in 2012." As part of Togo's 40-year anniversary, the company launched a strategic plan for expansion, which includes remodeling options for franchisees to refresh existing units, while continuing to grow the brand in key growth states, including Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. The new store prototype highlights the deli inspired one-on-one style service Togo's guests receive, and showcases fresh food with reach-in glass refrigerators, see-through counters and vibrant new decor.
