Togo’s, the homegrown fast-food chain with nearly 200 shops in the western part of the U.S., shares how it is creating a new perspective of submarine sandwich-making.
For Togo’s 50th Anniversary, the Silicon Valley Business Journal celebrated the west coast’s favorite sub shop with a cover story revealing the brand’s new approach to sandwich-making.
“We’re looking for sites that have a good blend of lunch and dinner and weekend business. Historically, I think our focus was more on the lunch business,” said Togo’s Director of Franchise Sales and Real Estate John Dyer. “We were trying to center around large office communities, but there wasn’t much nighttime and weekend business in those markets. We’re looking for a good blend of daytime population, but also residential in the area so that we can pull from those folks at night and on weekends.”
Over the next five years, Togo’s main focus of the expansion will be airtight on California, but that’s not to say the famous toastery won’t eye other territories.
“We get a lot of folks that grew up in the Bay Area or another area of California and they find themselves in Boise or Las Vegas or Phoenix, and they’re shocked to find out that the Togo’s isn’t there because they grew up with it,” said Dyer.
