Hey Togo s, why you got to do Michigan dirty like this? The iconic West Coast sandwich chain Togo s with about 170 locations in California and Oregon has used West Coast Original as their slogan, so it might be quite a shock to know the chain traces its roots back to Marquette and students at Northern Michigan University.
Visuals at the restaurant will claim they have been around since 1971. Well, maybe this iteration of the chain. The
original Togo s was founded in 1964 in Marquette. The story, as told on the San Jose History Facebook page goes,
In 1964, two students of Northern Michigan University, Tom Neumann and Gordon Reed, opened the first Togo s in Marquette, Michigan. The origin of the name is twofold. The two co-founders combined parts of their first names, the TO from Tom and GO from Gordon. Additionally, the original shop had no seating, so all of the orders were to go. .
