Ike’s Love & Sandwiches is on its way to Pflugerville, set to take over a storefront in the Cornerstone at Kelly Lane shopping center near SH-130. The chain’s next outpost is listed as “coming soon” at 18725 FM 685 #120, bringing its mix of meat-forward, vegan, and halal sandwiches to the east-of-130 corridor. Developers and contractors have been filing tenant projects for the strip as the center steadily fills in with banks and restaurants.
Plans submitted to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation detail an Ike’s build-out at 18725 FM 685 #120 with a reported construction budget of $250,000 and an expected completion date of February 1, 2026, according to WhatNow. That report also notes a restaurant representative was not available for comment by the deadline. We will update this story once the operator posts a firm opening date or issues a public statement.
Ike’s started as a small sandwich shop in San Francisco in 2007 and now bills itself as a fast-casual brand known for wildly named sandwiches, Dutch-crunch bread and a house “dirty sauce,” while offering meat, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and halal options, per the company’s site. The chain has since expanded into multiple states and typically leans on online ordering and a rewards program when new locations open, a playbook that helps drive early traffic at many of its stores.
Cornerstone at Kelly Lane Is Filling Up
The Pflugerville location will sit in the Cornerstone at Kelly Lane retail strip, which has been drawing banks and eateries this year, according to Community Impact. Project records on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation site show multiple tenant filings at the 18725 FM 685 address, including a Frost Bank branch and a Tumble 22 Hot Chicken fit-out, highlighting the cluster of new build-outs east of SH-130.
When It Might Open And What To Expect
Ike’s official locations list currently labels the Pflugerville shop as “Coming Soon,” and the company typically launches new stores with online ordering, a rewards sign-up and a menu that runs the gamut from meat-heavy sandwiches to vegetarian and vegan picks, per the brand’s pages. The filings and visible storefront activity point toward an early-February finish for tenant improvements, but a public grand-opening date is not yet posted. We will keep an eye on the Cornerstone storefront and share details once Ike’s or the local operator announces ribbon-cutting plans.
