Togo's Drops Prices on Wednesdays and Gives Back to the Community by Donating to the JDRF


SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - September 30, 2008) - Togo's Eateries, Inc., purveyor of delicious, hand-crafted sandwiches that are freshly prepared for people on the go, today announced the start of 1970s Flashback Wednesdays to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Starting October 1st, participating Togo's locations will thank their loyal customers by rolling back the price of one 6" classic sandwich every Wednesday to the original 1970s price of $1.99. Since the 1970s, community members have rallied around Togo's and supported their quality and quantity sandwich philosophy. Additionally, Togo's will make a donation to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation with every sandwich purchased.

"Togo's has been an integral part of the community for decades. Rolling our prices back and giving to charity is our way to thank the community for supporting us for so many years," said Tony Gioia, Togo's President and CEO. "We have been making fresh, quality sandwiches for over 37 years. Time changes and prices change, but our quality has not. That is why we are thrilled to be giving back to our loyal supporters in two ways: with discounted delicious hand-made sandwiches stuffed with the finest ingredients, and donations to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation with every sandwich sold."
