Combined IHOP-Applebee's Restaurant soon to open in Texas
The first combined IHOP-Applebee’s restaurant in the US will soon open in Texas
"Craving a stack of IHOP pancakes with a side of Applebee’s riblets? That will soon become a reality in Texas with a new restaurant that unites the two chains under the same roof.
Dine Brands, which owns the two restaurants, announced that the combined Applebee’s-IHOP restaurant will open approximately 35 miles west of San Antonio early next year, marking the first time the company has brought the concept to the United States.
Plans for the dual-branded restaurant were announced earlier this year as part of Dine Brand’s plan to grow the two restaurants, which both reported lackluster earnings Wednesday. Applebee’s same-store sales fell nearly 6% in the third quarter, while IHOP’s slumped 2.1%."

"Fans of pancakes and $1 margaritas will soon be able to get both in one place.
Applebee’s and IHOP are opening a co-branded restaurant near San Antonio, Texas, where customers will have access to both restaurants in one building, parent company Dine Brands announced Wednesday.
It will be the company’s first such location in the U.S., Dine said. There are 13 Applebee’s-IHOP restaurants in other countries, including Canada, the United Arab Emirates and Mexico. Dine has been encouraged by their performance and views the format as a growth vehicle for domestic franchisees."
