The IHOP on MacArthur Blvd. in Irvine will shutter after 32 years in business. It will close its doors permanently on Jan. 29 at 3 p.m.
“This decision was ultimately made for us when we unfortunately lost the lease for this location,” said co-owner Angela EL Haj (who, along with her sister, Mariam, also co-owns Calaca Mamas in Anaheim), in a written statement. “The property owner, which we have had a wonderfully long relationship with, has chosen to move forward with a different tenant who will be able to pay significantly higher rent. While we have no hard feelings and respect their decision, it is a bittersweet moment for our family and team, as this closure marks the end of a cherished chapter in our lives.”
