Re: IHOP Announces Name Change to 'IHOB'

THe last time I ate at IHOP was16 years ago. The food was horrible. The service was the WORST. First time I refused to tip.

 

NEVER went back to one because....it was that bad it turned me completely off the place.

The only IHOP near me would have to change far more than its name to entice me.  It's really tough for chains to compete effectively when there are so many good local choices where I live.

IHOP isn't disclosing yet what the 'B' will stand for until 6/11/18.

 

My guess is that the 'B' will stand for breakfast'.....what's your guess?


 

@KingstonsMomWe don’t have a restaurant near us, but ate in one while out of town. The food was sub-par and the place was filthy. Could the B be for B A R F?

Remember when KFC was Kentucky Fried Chicken?  Same menu, different name to try to make you forget you're eating fried foods.   

 

I have a feeling I'll be even less enthused with the reason behind IHOP's new name change.

I think the change to a lower case b is significant.  I just not know what. 

I do not think it is breakfast, as that seems too limiting to me.

The last time I ate at one I thought I would be dead in the morning from heartburn and acid reflux. 

 

Off my list of places to eat.

Re: IHOP Announces Name Change to 'IHOB'

I wonder if the announcement date of June 11 is a significant hint as to the name change.

Re: IHOP Announces Name Change to 'IHOB'

Hob makes me think of the word hobble, not a word you want associated with food. People know it as ihop & the name change isn't going to matter, it's still going to be called ihop...what a silly waste of money.
