## Story

Located at 8300 E. 36th Avenue in the neighborhood formerly known as Stapleton, the Ike’s store opened ahead of schedule, before the new year, in December 2021. The Woodfields have enjoyed tremendous success in the location’s first few months.

“It’s exciting to be the first to bring the Ike’s concept into Colorado,” Blair said. “To be successful in the Denver area, we know we have to bring creativity to the table, and we believe that Ike’s innovative offerings and unique flavor pairings will really resonate with the community and throughout the state.”

Early in his career, Blair served as a multi-unit operator of Wendy’s restaurants. His daughter grew up helping him in the restaurants and after earning her college degree, the two decided to partner. Camille first joined her father in a steakhouse restaurant where she oversaw store operations and training before the pair decided to become multi-unit operators with Ike’s.

“Camille and I are true partners,” said Blair. “We’ve always had a great connection and shared a vision for success. It’s a privilege that I’m able to go on this franchising journey alongside my daughter.”

The concept is a sandwich lover’s paradise, offering over 700 deliciously addicting sandwiches – including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options – all spread with “Ike’s Dirty Sauce,” baked directly into the bread.

“Above all else, love, appreciation and respect serve as the foundation for everything we do at Ike’s Love & Sandwiches,” said Shehadeh. “Blair and Camille have a special connection and it’s been wonderful to see the early success they’ve had here in Denver.”
