Dine Brands (DIN) Inks Deal to Open IHOP Restaurant in Caribbean
Read MoreHide Full Article
Dine Brands Global, Inc. (DIN - Free Report) recently reached an agreement with Bahamas Limited for the first IHOP location in Nassau, the Bahamas.
The IHOP location in Nassau is expected to open in late 2022. Over the next few years, the company plans to open 16 IHOP restaurants in the Caribbean.
William Urrego, regional VP of franchise operations, Dine Brands said “The Caribbean is an important growth market for Dine Brands, and The Providence’s well-developed tourism infrastructure and recent large-scale hotel and resort investments, as well as shopping center developments, help position it as the perfect location for IHOP’s first restaurant in the Island.”
In an effort to drive growth, the company continues to focus on expanding its presence in markets like North America, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. In August 2021, the company announced a collaboration with a Toronto-based investment company — K2 Group — for the development of IHOP non-traditional restaurants in Ontario, Canada.
