Sandwich lovers: "Ike's Love and Sandwiches" opens in Fresno

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A sandwich shop with several locations in California, Arizona, and Nevada -- is opening up for business in Fresno.

"Ike's Love and Sandwiches" is now open in Northwest Fresno in the Palmdon Shopping Center -- at the corner of Palm and Herndon.

The business' first location was opened in San Francisco back in 2007.

Since then, they've grown to 54 locations.

"We like to be community-based. We want to bring the jobs and at the same time serve sandwiches to people that love sandwiches," said training director Paul Fitzpatrick

In about a month -- the sandwich shop will open up their second location in Northeast Fresno -- at Campus Pointe near Fresno State.
