We began in a tiny office in Chicago in 1991 and have grown to over 100 offices Worldwide. In summer 2004, we opened our first international locations in Singapore and Toronto. Many of our first dates lead to 2nd dates and our matchmaking is responsible for thousands of marriages. We have arranged over 2 million fun first dates in our 17 years. Each month we arrange 50,000 dates for our 30,000 members worldwide----and growing by thousands each month!—that’s a lot of lunch dates!

A Chicago woman founded It’s Just Lunch over 17 years ago after her engagement was suddenly called off. She attended her first IJL wedding after the company had been in business for just 5 months. Since then, The IJL Team has been responsible for many weddings and she still gets goose bumps when she hears about another engagement!

San Diego County has no shortage of singles, but everyone is just so busy that it becomes difficult to meet other singles. That’s why we are so popular. Our clients come to us to meet other busy professional singles in the area. We can introduce our clients to people they would otherwise not meet on their own. Another reason we are so popular is because we have a high success rate. Many of our first dates lead to second dates.

One of our recent success stories is about Jim and Sheri. Jim loved dating through It’s Just Lunch so much that he was on his second membership. When Sheri came in for her interview, we were so excited and couldn’t wait to get her out on her first date - with Jim! The result? They totally hit it off! After several months of dating exclusively, Jim finally popped the big question and they are now engaged. They’re now filling their time with planning their upcoming wedding!
