Nation's first combined IHOP-Applebee's to open in San Antonio suburb next year

Ever wanted to scarf down buttermilk pancakes while getting buzzed on Long Island iced teas? Well, that niche dream can soon be a reality at the nation's first-ever combined IHOP-Applebee's location, set to open in the San Antonio suburb of Seguin early next year. Indeed, the IHOP-Applebee's hybrid concept is the brainchild of California-based Dine Brands Global and aims to generate more revenue than the restaurants would garner independently.
