Donuts shops, and had been featured as a young entrepreneur in
national publications such as The Saturday Evening Post and Coronet
magazine.
Togo's Subs was established in 1968 near

a former student by the name of Mike Cobler purchased the store,
upgraded the menu, and changed the name to Togo's Eatery.

Allied Domecq PLC, a global business specializing

restaurant operations, was established in 1994 when Allied-Lyons
acquired Pedro Domecq, the leading spirits company in Spain and
Mexico. Baskin-Robbins had earlier been incorporated into the
organization in 1978, when Allied Breweries acquired J Lyons,
whose holdings included the Glendale, CA-based ice cream company.
Dunkin' Donuts, previously an independently owned company founded
in Quincy, MA, was acquired in 1989.
In 1997, Allied Domecq acquired San Jose,
