House of Pancakes seeks Costa Rica partners

This week, the U.S. company DineEquity announced plans to open at least 10 International House of Pancakes (IHOP) brand restaurants in Costa Rica as part of its growth plan in Latin America, said Costa Rica’s business daily El Financiero.

The brand’s international growth has mainly focused on increasing the number of restaurants in existing markets and, at the same time, entering three new markets: Latin America, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific region. From 2014 to 2016, 80 international locations were opened.

The diner-style eatery is renowned for offering all-day breakfasts. IHOP offers 65 breakfast options at any time of day, as well as lunch and dinner options. There are more than 1,700 such locations worldwide in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, the Philippines, Panama and other countries.
