Dine Brands to Launch Combined Applebee's-IHOP Restaurants
Dine Brands Global is plans to combine its Applebee's and IHOP chains under one roof. The company, which owns both popular restaurant brands, announced during its Q4 2023 earnings call that it will launch co-branded dining establishments featuring combined kitchens and seating areas. "At breakfast, when there are more IHOP customers, customers can be seated in the Applebee's area and vice versa at dinner," CEO John Peyton explained to Nation's Restaurant News. The new dual locations will have discreet entrances to keep the IHOP and Applebee's sections separated, but open up during peak hours to increase overall seating capacity.
