Ike's Sandwiches Opening Its First Culver City Location

CULVER CITY, CA — Ike’s Love & Sandwiches is celebrating its first Culver City location with a grand opening April 9 and weeklong festivities hosted by founder and the face behind the cartoon logo — Ike Shehadeh.

The first 25 people in line starting at 10 a.m. April 9 will receive a free sandwich and t-shirt — and all sandwiches that day will be only $6 thereafter. People can also do a distanced meet-and-greet with Ike.

Ike's is also gearing up to satisfy late-night cravings and for the first time in the company's history. The new Culver City location at 3895 Overland Ave. will be open until midnight seven days a week.

The menu features more than 800 tasty, unique sandwiches, including vegan and gluten-free styles. Plus, the new Culver City location opens with a special mural dedicated to the film industry.

Ike’s is also holding a fundraiser before the grand opening to benefit the Culver City Education Foundation on April 7 from 5 to 9 p.m. All in-store and app sales will be donated to the nonprofit to help enhance and provide more programs, support and resources for the Culver City Unified School District.

This is the 73rd location for the iconic sandwich shop, which is known for its world-famous Dutch Crunch bread and Ike’s secret “Dirty Sauce," according to the company.

The company has plans to continue growing its fast-casual restaurant with other SoCal locations slated to open over the next three months in Carson, Del Mar, USC and Manhattan Beach. The beloved sandwich company is also hiring new applicants to be “Ikesters” in Culver City and other upcoming SoCal restaurants. People can apply on the website.

Ikes exploded onto the crowded San Francisco food scene in 2007 in at a small shop called “Ike’s Place.”

"Ike’s Love and Sandwiches has been transforming the sandwich segment for over a decade," according to the company. "An original since day one, the brand has been defined by innovative offerings and iconic flavor pairings."

Ike’s has more than 70 locations across the U.S. in California, Texas, Nevada, Arizona and Florida.
