MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - Togo’s, Marquette’s Original Submarine Sandwich Shop, turned a new page in their history on Jan. 1, 2022, with a transfer of ownership to the next generation.

Kathy Garrow has been part owner since 1976. She said, “It has been a part of my life since I was 14 years old, but it is time. I am not letting Togo’s go. Rather, I am letting my 3 children help Togo’s grow. I will always be standing beside them with love and support.”

Togo’s prides itself on preservative-free bread baked fresh in-house daily; a wide variety of meat, cheese, and vegetables; and gluten-free and vegan-friendly options.

A staple of the community since they first opened their doors in 1964, Togo’s said that with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, there’s no question why.

The shop is located at 1000 N. Third Street in Marquette, Michigan, and they are open 11am-9pm Wednesday-Monday.
