New Look for IHOP® in Alexandria, VA

Alexandria, VA; March 1, 2017: IHOP® Alexandria owners Sanjay and Neal Patel of Imperio Groups announced that their IHOP restaurant located at 6254 Duke Street in Alexandria, Virginia will be undergoing a major update and is not operating as of Sunday, February 26 through Thursday, March 2. The restaurant will open for business on Friday, March 3.

The upgrades will transform the dining areas to offer guests an entirely new look. The 4,400 square foot IHOP restaurant has been a staple of the Alexandria community for the past 22 years. The restaurant employs over 55 local residents, plays an important role in the local economy and supports many charitable activities.

Just days after the remodeling is complete, the restaurant and owners will celebrate IHOP® National Pancake Day® on March 7th, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., when guests can receive a FREE short stack of the brand’s world-famous, freshly made Original Buttermilk Pancakes. During IHOP National Pancake Day funds will be raised for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Guests are encouraged to make a donation to reach our goal of raising $3.5 million nationally for children battling critical illnesses.

“We are taking this time and making this substantial investment to improve our customers’ experience at our Alexandria location. We are upgrading our dining room, so our valued patrons and families will have a more enjoyable dining experience. We’ll be up and running and ready for National Pancake Day on March 7th. We welcome everyone to come and check out the improvements we have made and enjoy our famous pancakes as well as the other fantastic meals that IHOP is best known for around the world,” said Sanjay Patel, President of Imperio Groups.
