These Restaurant Chains Are Closing Down

IHOP

Having been operational for more than 60 years, The International House of Pancakes has found it hard to stay relevant in the past couple of years. IHOP is popularly known as the all-day breakfast restaurant, but people nowadays seem to prefer healthier breakfast options and at-home dining. Their comical rebranding to IHOB, International House of Burgers, in 2018 didn’t help one bit since the company closed down 40 stores in 2019 alone. 2020 practically killed the franchise considering the takeout market is yet to adopt the breakfast menu fully.
