TOGO’S LEMON PEPPER TUNA IS BACK!
NEW San Francisco Style Sourdough Bread will Debut with Lemon Pepper Tuna
San Jose, CA –February 11, 2010 – Togo’s Eateries, Inc., a west coast original since 1971, known for its deliciously fresh made-to-order sandwiches, announced today Lemon Pepper Tuna is back for a limited time beginning February 17th and will be available through April 27th, 2010. The popular Lemon Pepper Tuna sandwich will be offered on Togo’s new San Francisco Style Sourdough bread for $4.99.
2010 marks the third year Togo’s has brought back their delicious Lemon Pepper Tuna due to overwhelming guest requests and for those that are looking for seafood or non-meat alternatives during the Lent time period. This popular Lemon Pepper Tuna is made with 100% Albacore Tuna seasoned with fresh squeezed tangy lemon, cracked black pepper, diced celery and red onion.
“Our Lemon Pepper Tuna continues to be popular with guests and franchisees alike when we bring it back each year,” said Renae Scott, Togo’s Vice President of Branding and Marketing. “This year we are offering the Lemon Pepper Tuna sandwich on our new freshly baked San Francisco Style Sourdough bread.”
Togo’s Lemon Pepper Tuna will also mark the debut of their new San Francisco-style sourdough bread.
Togo’s uses over 5 million loaves of bread a year, and this new bread is the first for the company in almost 40 years through its partnership with two bakeries, San Diego Baking Company and Artisan Bakers both owned by GESD Capital Partners.
“Togo’s serves hand-crafted bread that is baked fresh every day and we have done so for almost forty years,” said Tony Gioia, Togo’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We chose a new partner to provide us with the very best artisan made breads and continue our tradition of quality. The competition claims to have fresh baked bread, but they are really baking off frozen bread in their stores. Our bread is truly baked from scratch every day. It’s a difference you can taste.”
This new partnership enables Togo’s to introduce new flavors such as San Francisco-style sourdough which debut with the limited time Lemon Pepper Tuna sandwich.
Togo’s Lemon Pepper Tuna will be available Wednesday, February 17th through April 27th, 2010. For more information about Togo’s and the wide selection of sandwich, salad and wrap selections, please visit http://www.togos.com or stop by your local Togo’s today.
