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, including one in Birmingham. 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!

We coordinate dozens of dates each week throughout Birmingham and Huntsville and have had thousands of successful fun first dates. How successful? Well, in the past two months alone we have had 6 engagements! One of our engagements was even between a Huntsville and a Birmingham client. After their first date, Becky called us thrilled; Carl was everything she had been looking for. Three months later Becky stopped by our office to thank us for introducing them and to show off her engagement ring!
