Ike’s Love & Sandwiches
Our Story
You can soon sink your teeth into owning your own Ike’s Love & Sandwiches, as the popular nationwide chain continues their expansion!
Founder and namesake Ike Shehadeh opened the first sandwich shop in 2007. Since then the fast casual chain has expanded and gained a cult following for the large sandwiches and diverse toppings at all the Ike’s locations. Shehadeh’s smiling, goateed face serves as the instantly identifiable logo for the restaurants.
While the menu on the wall features a certain number of the offerings, customers can always order any of the Ike’s more than 800 specialty sandwiches with options for everyone. The signature on any Ike’s sandwich is their “Dirty Sauce,” a creamy garlic aioli that is toasted into the bread. The custom-made bread comes in soft Dutch crunch, French, sourdough, whole wheat or gluten-free rolls.
Ike’s Love & Sandwiches is a foodie sensation with a very unique guest experience, a loyal customer base – including a huge celebrity following, and low start-up costs. Ike’s is simply the best sandwich franchise opportunity, period.

The Modern Sandwich Concept
“They have plenty of options for any of your friends or family that may have food restrictions, and they really make them delicious. My go to is the Rueben with Seau Sauce. If you have contemplated going here, just do it! You won’t regret it.”
“Ike’s Love & Sandwiches is the best I have ever had. This California based shop knows how to do it! We need these EVERYWHERE! Extremely fabulous customer service and such amazing sandwiches options.”
“I was recently introduced to Ike’s Love & Sandwiches which was absolutely phenomenal. I was looking for a vegan place yesterday and Ike’s popped up and I thought why not… Afterwards, I couldn’t wait to go to Ike’s again and have another one of their delicious sandwiches!”
“Had some Ike’s delivered to my work, and OMG were they delicious! I can’t wait to go here again. I was super impressed with their unique Dutch Crunch bread, and their sauce was also an amazing treat – that’s a must on any sandwich for me now! I also really love their message, all about love and acceptance, very cool. I highly recommend this place.”
“I simply can’t express how much I love Ike’s sandwiches. They’re awesome!! It started off with me being too hungry to go home and cook. As I was walking to my car, there was Ike’s calling my name. So I tried a sandwich (the Jim Rome) and holy smokes! It was sooooo good. I definitely recommend that you go try their sandwiches on a Dutch crunch bread (vegan btw).”
“Ike’s has amazing sandwiches, and lots of options. In addition, what you see on the menu isn’t ALL of the choices. Ike’s has numerous sandwiches on their “secret menu” and regional menus from other locations. You want a sandwich not on the menu? Just ask! Ike’s is legitimately the best sandwich spot in town.”
