Ike’s Love & Sandwiches is planning a rapid expansion across the Valley, according to recent real estate intel. Representatives for the company confirm that five new corporate-owned and operated locations are scheduled to open throughout 2022, making a total of 11 locations across the greater Phoenix area.
Ike’s is coming soon to northern Phoenix, Queen Creek, Peoria, Avondale, and Mesa. The new locations still need to go under construction, followed by permitting with their respective cities. If all goes according to plan, the five new locations should be open this summer.
Ike’s Love & Sandwiches began in 2007 as a small shop in San Francisco called Ike’s Place. Founded by Ike Shehadeh, the chain is known for serving innovative flavors on Dutch Crunch bread with their secret “Dirty Sauce.” Each location offers an exclusive sandwich named as a tribute to a local celebrity or icon.
Their menu also contains some award-winning sandwiches like “Matt Cain.” Featuring Roast Beef, Salami, Turkey, Godfather Sauce, Provolone, Matt Cain was voted the “Best Sports Sandwich” by ESPN. There is something for everyone at Ike’s, where they also offer vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten-free options.
To get a taste, you can visit one of their existing locations at central Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Glendale. For more information, visit www.ikessandwich.com.
