SACO — Pancake and breakfast fans can rejoice. An IHOP restaurant is slated to open next month at 515 Main St., Saco.

Or is that IHOB? The chain restaurant known for its pancakes and breakfast fare announced earlier this week it was changing its name from IHOP, which stands for International House of Pancakes, to IHOB.

“For 60 pancakin’ years , we’ve been IHOP. Now, we’re flipping our name to IHOB. Find out what it could be on 6.11.18. #IHOB,” tweeted the restaurant chain on June 4.

There has been no official news yet on what the B will stand for, but there have been plenty of guesses posted by hungry fans online, including breakfast, burger and buffet. 

New Hampshire-based franchisee Aziz Elsherif said in a phone interview on Thursday that the IHOP restaurant is expected to open in Saco in July. 

The new restaurant will be located at the former China House restaurant, which according to city records, is a little more than 4,600 square feet. It’s located in a busy area of U.S. Route 1, among several other chain restaurants, including doughnut and coffee shops and fast food joints.

Elsherif said he owns two other IHOP restaurants in Maine, one in Augusta and one in Auburn. The Saco location appeals to him because its proximity to the beach and the high amount of tourist traffic, he said. 

The restuarant has been accepting applications for all positions including hostess, dishwasher, cook, servers and management.

IHOP was founded in 1958 in Toluca Lake, California, according to information from the IHOP website. Today there are more than 1,650 restaurants across the world.
