IHOP opens 1st post-security airport location

IHOP has opened its first post-security airport location inside Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

Aimed at guests on the go, the IHOP Express location features made-to-order menu items, most of which are ready in seven minutes or less. The unit also includes location-specific features such as grab-and-go hot items like burritos and bowls, a coffee bar with specialty drinks and a full bar with spirits, wine, brunch-inspired cocktails and local craft beers.

"The opening of IHOP Express at DFW Airport demonstrates our commitment to being where our guests are today, and where they want us to be in the future," said Darren Rebelez, president of IHOP, in a statement. "We continue to build on, refine and enhance all areas of the business that have made IHOP a leader in family dining, including expanding our total number of restaurants and introducing new formats that meet guest needs."
