The International House of Pancakes opened their first store in 1958. They started using the acronym IHOP in 1973. They built their last A frame IHOP in 1979. We can't find any Greensboro-specific IHOP history, but, if you remember the A-frame building at the corner of Chapman and Spring Garden Street, we've heard it used to be an IHOP. However, property records indicate the building pre-dates IHOP, as it was built in 1938. If you remember when IHOP first came to town, and its location, we'd love for you to share this information.
The above IHOP is located on Green Valley Road near Irving Park. We were looking for an "I" to feature for ABC Wednesday for our ABC Alphabet 2016 Round and were having trouble finding an "I" business. Arriving at IHOP at sunset, we suddenly so many "I" places within less than a mile. We are featuring a few below.

We don't have IHOPs here, but there are alternatives.

We have IHOPs here but I don't go often. Too many calories and too much good food to resist! lol

the best part of going to IHOP is saying, "Rooty tooty, fresh and fruity!"
