# Vegas Publicity: Finding Love at Togo’s Brings Real Estate Investor to Sign with Sandwich Brand for Las Vegas Development

**TL;DR:** Togo's sandwich franchise is expanding in Las Vegas with the help of franchisee Makea Macaluso, who fell in love with the brand nearly two decades ago. Macaluso, a real estate investor, was impressed by Togo's adaptation to the pandemic and its core values.

## Story

Togo's, the nearly 200-unit, California-based sandwich franchise, is growing rapidly in Las Vegas. According to an article in Vegas Publicity, some of that expansion is due to franchisee Makea Macaluso.

While Macaluso's career has been primarily in real estate, her journey with Togo's began almost two decades ago. In fact, she fell in love with the brand and its sandwiches while working at a KFC across the street from a Togo's, and it's where she met her husband and business partner.

Macaluso told Vegas Publicity, “I’m extremely passionate about helping others and when I learned that Togo’s adapted throughout the pandemic to help franchisees learn more about the loans they were eligible for and making sure they had the tools to thrive really impressed me,” Macaluso said. “Once I learned Togo’s encompassed core values that were aligned with mine, it was a no brainer to pursue the opportunity.”
