Applebee's and IHOP open combined restaurant in Louisville

Original: ihop

A dual-branded Applebee's and IHOP has opened in Louisville, Kentucky, putting two popular dining chains under one roof. The concept allows customers to order from either menu in a shared space, a format the parent company Dine Brands has been testing as a way to boost traffic and cut operating costs. Reaction online has been a mix of curiosity and amusement.

Why now: The novelty of two well-known casual dining chains sharing a single restaurant is drawing attention and debate about the future of sit-down dining.
