During the second quarter of 2006, Glendale-based IHOP inked more than two dozen franchise agreements for new restaurants across the country, part of a continuing push to expand its national footprint. The 26 eateries will pop up over the next dozen years in Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, New York, North Dakota, Ohio and South Dakota, the company said. Vermont will also get its first franchised IHOP, which also marks the first time IHOP has had restaurants in all 50 states. The new commitments brings to 393 the number of new IHOP restaurants under development in Mexico and the U.S. as of the end of second quarter 2006. There are currently 1,264 IHOP restaurants. The chain was founded 45 years ago in Toluca Lake.
