People know that when they see our sign, they’re sure to get a delicious meal and great customer service — anytime day or night. That’s why we not only attract people from across the country, we also attract people from across the street, across town, and across the state. In other words, we attract everyone who’s looking for more than the limited offerings of fast food chains.
IHOP’s reputation for delicious, high-quality food – including our famous all-day breakfast - will drive more traffic to your location and more chances for you to increase your gasoline and C-store sales. Plus, our national purchasing power can lower food costs. And we offer the potential for higher top-line sales than other travel center food alternatives. So if you want to attract more visitors to your travel center, just add IHOP to your location. And watch how quickly you’ll become a popular attraction for drivers, travelers and your local community.

Our hours of operation in travel center venues are flexible, based on your individual location. While preferable, these restaurants are not required to adhere to a 24-hour operations policy. Some open as early as 5:00 AM and close after midnight during the week and are open 24 hours on weekends as traffic dictates. An IHOP Business Development consultant assists in determining what makes sense for each travel plaza location.
