The seventh area location of popular San Francisco-based eatery Ike's Love and Sandwiches will open in San Diego's Mission Valley.

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 100 locations around California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado and Texas. Ike's claims to offer over 800 sandwiches combinations.

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. Ike's has since expanded to the Midway District, Del Mar, Poway, La Jolla, Sorrento Valley, and had a branch in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter that closed in 2023. 

The seventh San Diego location of Ike's will open in a the space that last housed a lash studio within Fenton Marketplace plaza in Mission Valley. Ike's offers a huge menu of cheeky and celebrity-named sandwiches on freshly baked bread, as well as a rumored list of hundreds of "secret" sandwich possibilities.

Ike's Love and Sandwiches is anticipated to open in early 2025 at 2169 Fenton Parkway, Suite 104, in San Diego's Mission Valley community. For more information, visit loveandsandwiches.com.
