My husband loves Ihop, I never cared for it.  Your friend must already be rich, owning "several" as they are not cheap to buy and operate!  My husband actually told me one of the places he misses the most is Ihop.  And its not all junk, they do offer much healthier choices now, and I am sure they wouldnt have quite the same menu as in the US.  Anyway, I vote yes!
