Kicking off on Jun. 15 is a weeklong celebration at Ike’s, including a fundraiser and official Grand Opening Party.

The main event is on Thursday, Jun. 17. The first 50 people in line will receive a free sandwich of choice, exclusive Ike’s Templeton T-shirt, and be entered in a raffle to win free sandwiches for a year. All-day long, sandwiches will be available for only $6 each (limit 2 per order). Ike will be onsite for a meet and greet and photos against the new “Ike’s Loves Templeton” mural. 

Every new Ike’s location offers a set of exclusive sandwiches cleverly named after local icons and only available at select locations. Ike’s Templeton exclusives are “Brand Walsh,” a steak sandwich with garlicky tomato pesto and provolone, as well as a vegetarian version titled “Laff Box” made with breaded eggplant in place of steak.

Ike’s is a rapidly growing fast-casual restaurant, with additional California locations slated to open over the next three months in Carson, Marina Del Rey, Hollywood, and Manhattan Beach.
