Ike’s Love & Sandwiches has opened its first location in Queen Creek, just in time to grab a bite while out holiday shopping.

Ike’s Love & Sandwiches is located at 24921 S. Ellsworth Rd, Suite B140.

“Phoenix always shows me so much love that I want to give it right back to you the best way I know how: by opening new locations and creating two new sandwiches and a brand-new sauce just for my friends in Queen Creek,” stated Ike Shehadeh, founder of Ike’s Love & Sandwiches, in a press release. “The Horseshoe BBQ sauce is a little hot, a little sweet, and big on flavor that works perfectly with our signature pastrami. You’re going to love these new sandwiches.”

Ike’s in Queen Creek will also have many plant-based options and is also adding the “Picket Post Creek” a vegetarian version of its “Rittenhouse,” with vegan meatballs, Ike's Horseshoe BBQ Sauce and gouda cheese.

“We are growing faster in the Phoenix area than anywhere else in the country. Queen Creek is our twelfth store in Phoenix and we’re not going to slow down any time soon,” stated Ike’s CEO Michael Goldberg in the release “It’s always fun to see our fans from one neighborhood visit the newest store and try Ike’s latest sandwich masterpiece.”
