Targeting 30% growth this year, Ike's Love & Sandwiches, which has over 80 units, is adding 30 locations in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Northern California and Phoenix.
"Our rapid expansion is fueled by our loyal Ikesters who love our world-famous dirty sauce and huge variety of meat, vegan and vegetarian sandwiches," CEO Michael Goldberg said in a company press release. "We have put in place an energetic and seasoned executive team that has enabled successful growth even in these trying economic times."
Most new Ike's are converted locations of former sandwich competitors, which keeps construction costs low, according to the release.
