Ike’s Love & Sandwiches has been transforming the sandwich segment for over a decade. Ike’s has locations across California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, and Colorado. Ike’s rapid growth is driven by its inventive and delicious flavors that you can’t find anywhere else, a company-owned model, which provides consistent operations, and a smart development strategy.

An original since day one, the brand has been defined by innovative sandwiches and iconic flavors. Every one of Ike’s sandwiches comes with our secret “Ike’s Dirty Sauce” baked into the bread creating a toasty taste sensation. Ike’s offers four types of bread including Ike’s proprietary Dutch Crunch bread which is soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside.

Every location comes with exclusive sandwich offerings that are eclectically named as a tribute to local celebrities and icons. Ike’s Love & Sandwiches features over 800 sandwiches with options for everyone: meat lovers, vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten-free.

Most new Ike’s are converted locations of former sandwich competitors, which keeps construction costs low. In many cases, Ike’s has more than doubled the sales of larger brands in the same location. Ike’s average unit volumes lead the industry. Ike’s company-owned structure is allowing the brand to scale up faster than ever before.
