California&rsquo;s Central Coast is about to get a taste of <a href="http://www.togosfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=togos-builds-momentum-in-home-state-with-central-coast-expansion-2703223" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Togo&rsquo;s</a>.

The Golden State-founded fresh sandwich brand has already made a name for itself statewide but is looking forward to focus in on Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Atascadero and Santa Maria.

With room for multiple locations in the market, <a href="https://togos.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=togos-builds-momentum-in-home-state-with-central-coast-expansion-2703223" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Togo&rsquo;s</a> VP of Franchise Sales Mike Norcup initially saw the area as a strong development opportunity due to the success the brand has seen in some of the larger cities nearby.

&ldquo;Part of the reason we started looking at the area is we already have successful stores in places like Greater San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles,&rdquo; Norcup said. &ldquo;We are looking forward to now zeroing in on the Central Coast.&rdquo;

Togo&rsquo;s is likely a familiar experience to Central Coast locals, as the region tends to be a transplant market for many natives of Northern California. The area has observed large population growth as of late, and its smaller town feel is ideal for those looking for a change of scenery that is not too far from larger markets.

&ldquo;The area also has several major universities and junior colleges, bringing many students from out of state who then make this their permanent home,&rdquo; Norcup said. &ldquo;This creates an outstanding local demographic that varies in age but brings many locals with brand familiarity.&rdquo;

University students often move to the Central Coast area from cities such as Washington, Colorado, Arizona and Oregon - all places where Togo&rsquo;s has seen success as well. &nbsp;

With so many transplants turning the Central Coast into their homes, Norcup sees a wide-open opportunity to become the local, go-to sandwich joint for Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Atascadero and Santa Maria. Togo&rsquo;s is on the lookout for a potential franchisees who will fit this role.

&ldquo;A franchisee in this area would have a chance to really become a part of the local community,&rdquo; Norcup said. &ldquo;Unlike alternative, larger markets, they could own the one Togo&rsquo;s location in town. Someone who is a face of the local community and wants to continue to stay involved with new business opportunities would be the perfect fit.&rdquo;

Norcup also added that, with the smaller demographic and close proximity of these markets, a franchisee could also be presented with the unique opportunity to take control of the area and become a multi-unit franchisee for the Central Coast.

&ldquo;The market is really wide open and we would love to work with someone who really wants to own the area,&rdquo; Norcup said. &ldquo;There is the chance here to work with Togo&rsquo;s and make the market theirs. The opportunities are truly endless for Togo&rsquo;s in the Central Coast.&rdquo;
