Ike's Love & Sandwiches, featuring a menu of over 800 sandwiches, is holding a series of grand opening events at its first Culver City restaurant April 7-April 9, according to a press release.
Festivities kick off with a fundraiser on April 7 from 5-9 p.m. with all sales from in-store and Culver City app orders for the day going to Culver City Education Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports and enhances programs and resources for the Culver City Unified School District.
On Friday, April 9, Ike's will hold celebration hosted by Founder Ike Shehadeh, who is also the face behind the cartoon logo. Guests may also enjoy a socially distant meet-and-greet throughout the day with Ike himself.
Ike's first opened in San Francisco, in 2007, and now has over 70 locations across California, Texas, Nevada, Arizona and Florida.
The Culver City location is the 73rd location for the sandwich shop, which is known for its Dutch Crunch bread and Ike's secret "Dirty Sauce. Additional SoCal locations are slated to open over the next three months in Carson, Del Mar, USC and Manhattan Beach.
Every Ike's Love & Sandwiches location comes with exclusive sandwich offerings that are eclectically named as a tribute to local celebrities and icons and include vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free selections.
