US-based Dine Brands International plans to open four IHOP restaurants in Qatar, with the first location scheduled to open at the Gulf Mall through an agreement made with IHOP franchisee Mohamed Makawi.
Tony Moralejo, President, International of Dine Brands Global, said: “Earlier this year, Mohamed signed an agreement to bring our brands to the UAE, and we are excited to see his passion and commitment continue with the development of IHOP in Qatar. This partnership follows the tremendous success of our IHOP opening in Cairo, one of ten new international IHOP locations opened this year, and our recently announced partnership in the western Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Qatar will represent our fourth market in the Middle East as we continue to accelerate our international growth.”
Dine Brands International continues to focus on growth and expansion in its core markets, including North America, Latin America, The Middle East, and the Caribbean.
