Duo Applebee's, IHOP restaurant in Sheboygan no longer in the works
SHEBOYGAN – Preliminary plans for a dual-branded Applebee’s and IHOP have been tossed out for now. Plans to open the duo restaurant in the former Applebee's, 526 S. Taylor Drive, won't be moving forward, according to Founders 3, the commercial real estate agency marketing the site. The Licensing, Hearings and Public Safety Committee approved a liquor license in May for AppHop Sheboygan, Inc. to open the duo restaurant . The building has no active prospects, according to Founders 3. The franchisee behind Apphop Sheboygan, Inc., has opened Applebee’s and IHOP combo restaurants in other Wisconsin communities, like Watertown, Marshfield and Plover, according to news reports. Sam Soleimani, president and CEO of Siyavoush Soleimani Group, an Applebee’s and IHOP franchisee, said in a written statement that after evaluating development plans with market priorities and the group's business strategy, they decided not to move forward with the project. "We remain excited about the future of the dual-branded concept and look forward to opening in other markets across Wisconsin," Soleimani continued in the statement. Sheboygan’s Applebee’s closed in summer 2023 after more than 20 years of business. (This story has been updated with the most recent information.) Contact Alex Garner at 224-374-2332 or

Applebee's is returning to Fond du Lac in a dual-branded concept
FOND DU LAC – Applebee's is making a local comeback. Fond du Lac is among the communities introducing a dual-branded concept that will combine IHOP and Applebee's, a brand representative confirmed Oct. 2. When will Fond du Lac's location open with the new concept? The current IHOP space at 841 W. Johnson St. will soon undergo remodeling to accommodate both restaurant concepts. While an exact timeline for Fond du Lac's location is not yet available, a statement from franchisee Sam Soleimani, president and CEO of Siyavoush Soleimani Group, indicated a 2027 opening. Tell us: Who has the Fond du Lac area’s best cheese curds? Share your picks "By bringing together favorites from both brands under one roof, guests can enjoy more choices any time of day," Soleimani added. According to parent company Dine Brands , other dual-branded franchises have a shared kitchen with designated dining areas and menus for Applebee's and IHOP, but customers can order from either menu at either dining space. While the restaurants may seem like an odd pairing, both the menus and peak hours have limited overlap, complementing each other instead of competing, according to Dine Brands.
