Джерри Лапин, Аль Лапин и Альберт Каллис основали International House of Pancakes в Лос-Анджелесе, штат Калифорния, в 1958 году с помощью Шервуда Розенберга и Уильяма Кея. Первый ресторан открылся по адресу 4301 W. Riverside Drive в озере Толука, Лос-Анджелес , Калифорния . [1] Второе и третье места на 8555 Веспер-авеню в Панорама-Сити, Калифорния и 3625 Стокер-авеню в Болдуин-Хиллз, Калифорния (бывший ресторан Brown Derby ), все еще открыты для работы. [6] [7]

The first prototype design for IHOP building was a steep-roofed A-frame building with a distinctive blue roof; the last such location to be built was completed in 1979. While most IHOP locations no longer use the A-frame buildings, several still exist around the U.S.[1]

In 1973, the chain's name was shortened to "IHOP" for marketing purposes,[8] using a cartoon kangaroo in its commercials at the time, and since then the full name and acronym have been officially interchangeable.[citation needed]

The breakfast food menu later expanded (especially in the 1980s) to include standard lunch and dinner items found in similar restaurant chains such as Sambo's and Denny's. In 1976, at the same time as reorganization International Industries became IHOP.[1] In December 2019, IHOP announced plans to launch a chain of fast casual breakfast restaurants called Flip'd.[9]

Acquisition of Applebee's[edit]

16 июля 2007 года корпорация IHOP объявила о плане приобретения сети ресторанов и баров Applebee's за наличные деньги на сумму около 2,1 миллиарда долларов США. [10] По условиям соглашения держатели акций Applebee получат 25,50 долларов за акцию. [10] IHOP заявила, что передаст по франшизе большую часть 500 предприятий Applebee, принадлежащих компании. В то время у Applebee's было 1943 ресторана по всему миру, включая те, что обслуживались франчайзи. [11]

Applebee's shareholders approved the acquisition with a 70% vote, which closed on November 29, 2007. A number of executives from Applebee's voted against the offer. The chain's largest individual shareholder, Applebee's director Burton "Skip" Sack, called the IHOP offer unfair to its shareholders and stated he planned to take IHOP to court to demand a higher price be paid to him. As part of the purchase, a brand remarketing scheme and revitalization of the Applebee's image was intended.[12] The buyout successfully closed on November 29, 2007,[13] and the corporate entity IHOP changed its name to DineEquity on June 2, 2008.[14] A franchisee opened a hybrid Applebee's/IHOP restaurant in downtown Detroitв середине 2018 года.

Franchising agreements with M.H. Alshaya, an international restaurant-franchising firm, resulted in an agreement for Alshaya to open as many as forty IHOP locations in the Middle East, beginning in 2012. By the end of 2018, IHOP restaurants operated in six Middle Eastern countries: Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon.[18] In 2019, IHOP began its foray into South America, opening three locations in Ecuador.[19]

IHOP Express' first location opened in 2011, they are a quick service version of the chain offered at locations such as airports,[20] school campuses,[21] military food courts[22] and travel centers.[23] The first standalone public location of the concept opened in downtown San Diego in 2011.[21]

In 2019, IHOP announced plans to open a fast-casual restaurant, Flip'd by IHOP. Flip'd will include a menu serving pancake bowls, burgers, and fried chicken.[24]

Marketing[edit]

In June 2015, IHOP introduced an updated logo, removing its decorative elements and adding a curved line under the "O" and "P" letters to resemble a smiley face. The company argued that the previous logo looked too much like a frown.[25][26]

In June 2018, an IHOP marketing campaign announced they would "flip" their name to "IHOb"; it was ultimately revealed to be a marketing campaign for its hamburgers, in an effort to address perceptions that IHOP was still primarily oriented towards breakfast food. The tease of the campaign led to speculation via social media regarding the intent of the change.[27] IHOP parodied the campaign the following year to promote a new hamburger that includes a pancake as an ingredient, jokingly stating that they would refer to their burgers as "pancakes" because people wanted IHOP to "stick to pancakes".[28][29]

Lawsuit[edit]

In early September 2010, IHOP filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles against International House of Prayer and six other defendants alleging trademark dilution and infringement.[30][31] The lawsuit was dropped on December 21, 2010, with the dispute resolved out of court.[32]
