IHOP hints at changing name to ‘IHOb’

WILMINGTON, NC (WFMY) — IHOP is hinting that a big change is coming — with just the small flip of a letter.

The pancake chain, in a tweet Monday morning, suggested that it would change its name from “IHOP” to “IHOb” starting June 11.

That’s right. It’s not a typo, although the company has not disclosed the meaning of the new acronym.
