“I am not only passionate about Togo’s and introducing our guests to our big, made-to-order sandwiches, but also about preserving and improving a Lathrop landmark,” said Prem Dhoot, Togo’s franchisee. ”Joe’s Travel Plaza has provided quality brands in a clean, fresh environment for over 60 years. We have added a high-quality convenience store with Texaco ExtraMile and a best-in-class sandwich eatery with Togo’s. These additions update Joe’s with a fresh look and value while maintaining a community staple.”

The new 900 ft. Togo’s opened its doors on March 21st with Togo’s new store prototype, which highlights the deli inspired one-on-one style service Togo’s guests receive, and showcases fresh food with reach-in glass refrigerators, see-through counters, and vibrant new décor.
