How it originated?
International House of Pancakes was incorporated in 1958 by Al Lapin, Jerry Lapin and Albert Kallis with the help of William Kaye and Sherwood Rosenberg . The first restaurant opened on July 7, 1958, at 4301 Riverside Drive in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles, California. Albert Kallis was a professional artist who designed film posters in the 1950s for American International Pictures. In the 1980s, they expanded their menu from breakfasts and included lunch and dinner items too. Between 1959 to 1975 IHOP was the flagship division of International Industries, a holding company which also owned the Orange Julius refreshment stands. In 1973, the company started to call itself as “IHOP” for marketing purposes.
Since then its full name and the acronym are officially interchangeable. It has increasingly favored the acronym from 1976. IHOP initiated agreements with M.H. Alshaya which is an international restaurant-franchising firm. This resulted in Alshaya opening as many as forty IHOP locations in the Middle East, beginning in 2012. By the end of 2013, IHOP restaurants operated in three Middle East countries: Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
