“West Coast Original” Awards Three Restaurant Employees with $1,000 Scholarships

Togo’s Eateries, Inc., a “West Coast Original” since 1971 serving up big, meaty, made to order sandwiches stuffed with the freshest ingredients, is proud to announce today it has awarded three California employees with a $1,000 college scholarship through the Togo’s Education Fund. The sandwich chain launched the academic scholarship program to help support team members who are continuing their education while working at Togo’s.  The awards were based on employee essays about their future goals and ambitions.

Recipients of the Togo’s Education Fund scholarship included Melody Brown, a Sacramento-area student at both Sierra College and Epic Bible College majoring in ministerial studies; Esmeralda Mendez, a student majoring in engineering at San Jose State University; and Bianca Perez, a business major at Pasadena City College. All three students have been employees of Togo’s for more than two years.

Togo’s was founded in 1971 by a young college student with a large appetite and little money looking to make sandwiches the way he liked them — big, fresh and meaty. Keeping in the spirit of the original, Togo’s products are still made with only the highest quality ingredients; including fresh-baked Artisan breads, hand sliced premium pastrami, turkey and roast beef, as well as California avocados and cheeses. Togo’s proprietary brand of old-fashioned Pastrami, 98 percent fat-free slow-roasted turkey, and Togo’s homemade chicken and tuna salad set the brand apart from other sandwich shops. Togo’s is a franchise-based business with nearly 250 locations along the West Coast. For more information call 1.877.718.6467 or visit http://www.togosfranchise.com.
