Two major restaurant chains may soon come together as a joint restaurant concept.

This means customers could dine at an IHOP/Applebee’s restaurant as early as the first quarter of 2025.

The dual-branded restaurants have a shared back-of-house and combined front-of-house.

In other words, this restaurant concept allows for more seating if needed.

In 2023, Applebee’s closed 46 locations and opened 10 new ones.
