Bismarck’s New IHOP Opening Date Has Been Revealed

New Business Alert:

Bismarck is getting a pretty popular restaurant that caters to breakfast-loving people.  According to sources close to the situation, I was made aware that this national breakfast chain intended to open up a restaurant here in Bismarck a couple of years back. I of course am talking about IHOP.

According to Wikipedia, IHOP has 1,841 locations across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, and Guatemala.  They also have locations in the Middle East and South Asia.

Many of their locations are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but the chain's minimum operating hours are 7 am to 10 pm.

Although the focus of this restaurant chain is breakfast, they also offer lunch and dinner menus.

IHOP currently has two locations already in North Dakota.

One is in Fargo and the other location is in my hometown of Grand Forks.  Bismarck will be the 3rd location in our state with rumors of possible others opening up.

This restaurant purchased land up north near Costco years ago, (1213 Brookside Place) but after a summer of construction, it appears Bismarck's new IHOP is just about ready to open.

We now know the EXACT date Bismarck's new IHOP will open: Monday, October 28th.

I spoke with the new General Manager for Bismarck's IHOP Ammar Mustafa, and he confirmed the date with me barring any unforeseen construction delays.  He also added that IHOP is very excited to be a part of the community.

According to IHOP's website, some locations are now serving beer, sangrias, and mimosas.

I must say, as somebody who moved here from Grand Forks several years ago, IHOP's waffles are to die for.  I'm salivating just thinking about it.
