ToGo’s CEO Tony Gioia has lined up $15 million in financing to renovate some existing
restaurants and establish new ones. A $15 million fund has been established by Togo’s Eateries Inc. to feed its expansion.

Officials of the San Jose-based sandwich shop chain said Monday the funding has become available through a franchisee lending agreement between the company, Franchise American Finance and The Bancorp Bank, a subsidiary of The Bancorp Inc.

The fund will make $10 million available to Togo’s franchisees to remodel existing restaurants, with the remaining $5 million for construction of new locations.

What started as a lone sandwich shop in San Jose in 1971 has grown into a regional fast-casual chain with 241 locations. Tony Gioia, CEO of parent company Togo’s Holdings LLC, told the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal last year he projects from 15 to 25 new Togo’s locations each in the states of Oregon and Nevada — where the company currently has a total of three and one, respectively. He also hopes to open up to 25 locations in the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area of Washington state, where Togo’s now has no presence.

“The Togo’s brand is expanding into new and existing markets with an improved prototype that we’re confident is going to bring even greater success to both our new and current franchise partners,” Gioia said in a statement.

In 2011, the company saw its fastest growth, opening seven new restaurants in its core market of California.

Company officials said Monday the company has one of the strongest sales-to-investment ratios in the sandwich fast-casual industry segment at two to one with average unit annual sales of $600,000.
