GLENDALE, Calif., April 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- IHOP® restaurants, which have been bringing
people together over a great breakfast, anytime of day for almost
58 years, are now making it easier—and more affordable—for families
to spend dinner time together... From April
11 through May 6, from 4pm to
10pm, with every purchase of one adult entrée, one child 12
and under will receive an entrée from the IHOP restaurants' "Just
for Kids" menu, all of which are 600 calories or less, absolutely
free.
"For more than five decades now, families have made indelible
memories from time shared together over a great meal at IHOP.
That's not only a tradition we're proud of, it's one we want to
help today's families continue," said Kirk
Thompson, Senior Vice President, Marketing, International
House of Pancakes, LLC. "Our 'Kids Eat Free' promotion makes it
convenient, affordable and delicious for families to spend
dinnertime connecting and enjoying each other's company. Quality
time over a quality meal at an affordable price—another great IHOP
tradition!"
A recent Columbia University study
found that children who often eat dinner with their parents not
only report being closer as a family, but that regular family
dinners yield benefits such as better self-esteem and higher grade
point averages in school. The same study has shown that eating
dinner as a family is not only good for the spirit, but that dinner
conversations help develop a child's vocabulary more than
reading.
IHOP restaurant's "Just for Kids" menu offers a variety of
choices, from more traditional dinner items like the kids' Grilled
Cheese Sandwich or items like the Jr. Chicken & Waffles. Junior
Breakfastarians can also choose IHOP restaurant classic items like
omelettes, French toast or classic buttermilk pancakes ... because
at IHOP restaurants, breakfast for dinner is not only just
accepted, it's encouraged.
"We're hopeful that families will take advantage of our 'Kids
Eat Free' promotion to rediscover the joy of disconnecting from
technology and daily stress and rediscover the joy of connecting
with each other," said Thompson.
*Valid April 11-May 6,
2016. Receive one free kids' entrée with each adult entrée
purchase. Free entrée valid for Kids 12 and under on "just
for Kids" menu items, for a limited time at participating
locations. Drinks not included unless otherwise
specified. Not valid with any other discounts or
coupons. Dine-in only.
