Our Success

It’s Just Lunch is a fun, proactive approach to your personal life. As first date specialists, we arrange fun lunch dates and drinks after work for busy professionals. 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 second dates and our matchmaking is responsible for thousands of marriages. We have arranged over 2 million fun first dates in our 19 years.

A Chicago woman founded It’s Just Lunch 19 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!

With so many places to go and things to do in Western New York, there is no one place for singles to meet. That’s why we are so popular. Our clients come to us to meet other busy professional singles in the area. We introduce our clients to people they wouldn’t normally meet on their own.
