Ike's Place (now known as Ike's Love and Sandwiches) is the creation of Ike Shehadeh, who first launched his namesake sandwich shop in San Francisco in 2007 and now has more than 55 locations around California and Arizona. Ike's offers a huge menu of cheeky-named sandwiches on freshly baked bread, as well as a rumored list of over 400 "secret" sandwich possibilities. Widely known for its famed "Dirty Secret Sauce" and Dutch Crunch bread, Ike's first entered San Diego in Fall 2015 with the opening of its 1,100 square-foot fast-casual eatery within The Hub retail shopping center in Hillcrest. In fall 2018, a second San Diego Ike's opened in the Midway District of Point Loma and last year, the brand touched down in the heart of San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter.
The fourth San Diego location of Ike's will join over 70 existing retailers spanning over 400,000 square-feet within the recently-renovated Del Mar Highlands Town Center in Carmel Valley. Unlike the Hillcrest branch, the Del Mar Ike's will not have a beer & wine license upon opening.
