Here at the Scoop and Focus Real Estate we’re always tracking the latest business news around our wonderful neighborhood.
One piece of business news we’ve been following this summer? Whether Ike’s Love & Sandwiches, the beloved San Francisco sandwich chain, is in fact moving into Central Park. While we speculated that Ike’s could be moving into A Line Square (the Central Park light rail station development) a few months back in one of our Inside Scoop business posts, we’ve been waiting for confirmation from the sandwich shop since then.
If you’re a fan of Ike’s, we have good news for you. Ike’s confirmed that it has signed a lease for its first location in Colorado, which in fact will be in Central Park. The father-daughter franchise duo Blair and Camille Woodfield of Woodfield Squared, LLC signed a multi-unit franchise deal in 2020 to bring five units to the greater Denver area. The franchisees have identified the Central Park neighborhood of Denver as the ideal site for the first Ike’s.
When might Ike’s open? It sounds like the new restaurant is eyeing a late summer 2021 opening.
If you’re not familiar with Ike’s, here’s what you need to know (from Ike’s website):
“Ike’s first opened its door on Halloween of 2007. The man behind the sandwich, Ike Shehadeh, always puts his customer’s happiness first. That is what sets Ike’s Love and Sandwiches apart from the rest. When you come to Ike’s, it is our goal to make you feel like the unique individual that you are.
If that isn’t enough to set us aside, did I mention “Ike’s Dirty Secret Sauce” is spread on every sandwich and baked right into the bread? With over 500 sandwiches to choose from, no wonder why we’re the best sandwich shop in town! Mmmmm… are you hungry yet?”
