DOTHAN, Ala (WDNews) Pancake lovers can rejoice — IHOP is officially making a comeback in Dothan.
A new sign at the former restaurant location now reads “Coming Soon,” signaling the return of the popular breakfast spot that closed its doors back in August 2024.
When the restaurant shut down last year, many locals were surprised. At the time, IHOP representatives told WDNews the closure was only temporary.
“We expect that the closure of the IHOP restaurant located in Dothan, AL on August 25, 2024, is just temporary and hope that the restaurant will be reopening under new franchisee ownership soon,” an IHOP spokesperson said at the time.
While no official reopening date has been released, the new signage suggests progress is underway. There were no confirmed reasons given for the 2024 closure.
WDNews will continue following updates on the restaurant’s return.
