About Togo's Franchisor LLC
College student Mike Cobler was tired of eating cafeteria food. With a limited budget, he set up a small sandwich shop in 1972 to serve his fellow students at San Jose State University in Northern California. Soon, lines were forming out the door for Cobler's sandwiches, and he opened another Togo's.
The company began franchising in 1977, and by 2000 there were more than 250 Togo's shops serving more than 30 kinds of sandwiches, salads, soups and chili to customers on the West Coast.
Togo's is a subsidiary of Allied Domecq, parent company of Baskin-Robbins and Dunkin' Donuts. Since being acquired by Allied Domecq, Togo's is now expanding nationwide. Franchisees may operate combination stores, co-branding Togo's with either Baskin-Robbins or Dunkin' Donuts.
