Togo's promotes CFO to CEO
October 21, 2024
Togo's Sandwiches has appointed its CFO, Matt Dowling, to CEO, following Glenn Lunde's decision to step down. Dowling has held dual positions previously while serving as CFO and president of Boudin, and CFO and CEO of Marin Bikes, a global wholesaler and distributor of bikes across 45 countries. He will oversee overall operations, set strategic goals, focus on growing unit count and drive financial performance while continuing his role as CFO.
"I am honored to step into the CEO role, and I'm looking forward to pushing Togo's forward in 2025 with a clear vision; balancing fresh ideas from guests, franchisees, and team members while staying true to the tenets that have attributed to the success of the brand for over 50 years," Dowling said in a company press release. "The future of Togo's is exciting, with new stores in Burbank, California and Vancouver, Washington, opening in Q4, continuing our 3.0 design remodels, franchise expansion in new markets and launching new products and programs to engage with our loyal guests. In my nearly three years at Togo's, we've transformed the HR, finance and accounting operations so the collection and communication of information is accurate, efficient and more streamlined for our franchisees and overall team. I aim to continue this momentum of streamlining our systems, and I look forward to leading Togo's into a bright future and continued success."
Togo's has over 170 locations open or under development across Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
