For the Reporter

Togo’s – specializing in big, fresh and meaty sandwiches – is coming to Kent.

The sandwich chain plans to develop five new restaurants in Washington state over the next several years in cities such as Kent, Renton, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Tukwila with the first location scheduled to open in late 2015.

The Kent site has not been selected at this time, according to a company official.

Togo’s, a “West Coast Original” since 1971, has restaurants throughout the West, including its first franchised restaurants in Idaho and a return to Colorado and Utah.

“This is an exciting time for Togo’s as we’ve made great strides in expanding the brand beyond its core California market and providing our franchisees with even greater support to grow their business,” said Tony Gioia, chairman and CEO of Togo’s Holdings, LLC. “As we look ahead, we will continue to drive operational excellence to support future development and provide entrepreneurs with one of the best franchise opportunities in the sandwich category.”

Togo’s, which has more than 300 restaurants open and under development throughout the West, has experienced four consecutive years of same-store sales increases. To continue to fuel development and recruit passionate franchisees in 2015, the company offers a multi-unit franchise development incentive program to drive expansion in key growth markets.

New and existing franchisees that sign a new agreement for three or more locations will receive reduced royalty fees for the first two years for each new restaurant that is developed in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Nevada and Arizona.

Additionally, franchisees will benefit from $10 million for remodels and transfers, as well as $5 million to build new restaurants.
