By IHOP Special for USDR
In celebration of its 58th anniversary, IHOP® Restaurants and its franchisees will offer guests a short stack of its world-famous Original Buttermilk Pancakes for only 58 cents on July 12 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at participating restaurants*. The promotional anniversary price is actually four cents less than what the pancakes cost in 1958 when brothers Al and Jerry Lapin and partners opened the first International House of Pancakes in Toluca Lake, Calif., a suburb of Los Angeles.
Known for culinary innovation, the traditions that began with the original IHOP Restaurant continue today as the brand and its franchisees welcome in guests, their families and their friends to enjoy signature breakfast foods and more, customizable by order and available any time of the day, every day. Today, the undisputed breakfast leader celebrates almost six decades of being a part of communities around the world, with close to 1,700 restaurants in total and a presence in every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Mexico, the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates and many other global locations.
Now through July 31, guests can enjoy the latest “only at IHOP” creation, Paradise Pancakes in three tropical flavors — Strawberry Passion Fruit, Banana Macadamia Nut, and Pineapple Upside Down — reimagined from the Hawaiian vacation breakfast that served as the inspiration for IHOP Restaurants.
“IHOP and our franchisees are committed to delivering on the brand promise our founders envisioned when they introduced IHOP to the world in 1958: create value for our guests by providing an exceptional dining experience at any time of every day,” continued Rebelez. “As we look to introduce more guests to the IHOP experience year after year, this continues to be our guiding principle.”
*Participation varies. Dine-in only. Limit one per person.
