IHOP and Applebee’s Are Merging?!

...and Other Food News!

If you can’t choose between
IHOP and Applebee’s, there’s exciting news:  You may not have to anymore!

For the past five years, they’ve been owned by the same parent company, and the CEO says they’re going to be creating “dual-branded” locations soon.

The idea is that they’d have separate entrances and seating areas, but the same building, kitchen, and staff.  And the seating areas could be blended so that at breakfast, when there are more IHOP customers, they could spill over into the Applebee’s area, and vice-versa at dinner.

It doesn’t sound like they’re changing the name…so it won’t be IHOPees or AppleHOP.  They have a test restaurant in Mexico, and it’s just called Applebee’s-IHOP.

Since the kitchens are the same, it sounds like you’d be able to order from EITHER restaurant, meaning the combined menu would be HUGE.
