IHOP Partners with Suzuki to Bring Off-Road Adventure to Breakfast Lovers with Custom Jimny

Pasadena, CA – October 26, 2023 – IHOP FRANCHISOR LLC, the iconic breakfast, lunch, and dinner brand, today announced a surprising but exciting partnership with Suzuki to create a limited-edition, custom Suzuki Jimny. Yep, you read that right – IHOP and a rugged off-road vehicle. This isn’t a drill! For decades, IHOP (International House of Pancakes) has been the go-to spot for families, friends, and anyone craving a stack of fluffy pancakes. Based in Pasadena, California, IHOP operates over 1,750 restaurants globally, known for its warm hospitality, comfortable atmosphere, and, of course, its delicious menu. But IHOP isn’t just about breakfast anymore. They’re about experiences, about making memories, and now… about tackling tough terrain. “We've always been about bringing people together,” said a spokesperson for IHOP FRANCHISOR LLC (reachable at 951-272-0214). “And what better way to do that than by combining the joy of a hearty IHOP meal with the thrill of exploring the great outdoors? We thought, 'Why not a Jimny?'” So, What’s This Jimny All About? The limited-edition IHOP x Suzuki Jimny isn't your average off-roader. It’s built on the already incredibly capable Suzuki Jimny platform – a compact, four-wheel-drive vehicle renowned for its exceptional off-road prowess and surprisingly roomy interior. But IHOP and Suzuki took things to a whole new level. Think of it as a mobile breakfast command center. Okay, maybe not officially, but that’s pretty close. Key Features of the IHOP Jimny: Pancake-Inspired Paint Job: The Jimny boasts a custom two-tone paint scheme. The base color is a creamy, golden “Buttermilk” hue, contrasted with a dark brown “Chocolate Chip” roof. It genuinely looks like a stack of pancakes on wheels. Seriously. IHOP Branded Accessories: You’ll spot the IHOP logo everywhere – on the hood, side panels, and even the tire covers. It’s tastefully done, not just plastered all over. We think. Built-In Griddle (Seriously!): Okay, this is where things get really interesting. The rear cargo area features a removable, propane-powered griddle – perfect for whipping up a quick breakfast (or lunch, or dinner!) during your outdoor adventures. It’s safety-certified, of course, and comes with all the necessary cooking tools. Imagine flipping pancakes with a mountain view! Extra-Large Cooler: Need to keep those orange juice and milk cold? The IHOP Jimny features a massive, high-capacity cooler built into the rear seating area. It’s big enough for a whole family's worth of breakfast goodies. All-Terrain Tires & Suspension Upgrade: This isn’t just about looking rugged. The Jimny has been equipped with aggressive all-terrain tires and a reinforced suspension system to tackle everything from rocky trails to sandy beaches. "Stack Shack" Roof Rack: The roof features a custom-designed rack dubbed the "Stack Shack." It's designed to securely hold stacks of IHOP's famous pancakes (in insulated containers, naturally) – perfect for sharing with fellow adventurers. Interior Comfort & Tech: Despite all the off-road enhancements, the IHOP Jimny hasn't sacrificed comfort. It features comfortable seating, a premium sound system, and a touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and smartphone integration. Why a Jimny? Why Now? “We noticed a trend,” explains the IHOP spokesperson. “More and more people are getting outdoors, seeking adventure, and wanting to share experiences with loved ones. We wanted to create something that embodies that spirit. The Suzuki Jimny is a legendary off-road vehicle – small, nimble, incredibly capable, and surprisingly fun to drive. It just felt like a natural fit.” The Jimny’s compact size is a major benefit. It allows the vehicle to navigate narrow trails and challenging terrain that larger SUVs can’t handle. Its four-wheel-drive system provides exceptional traction, while its short wheelbase contributes to its maneuverability. “We wanted something that wasn’t intimidating,” adds the spokesperson. “Something that anyone could pick up and drive, regardless of their off-road experience.” Limited Edition Availability This isn’t going to be a vehicle you’ll see on every corner. IHOP and Suzuki are only producing a limited run of 500 IHOP Jimnys. They will be available for purchase through a special online lottery system starting November 15th, 2023. The estimated price is $35,000 USD. More Than Just a Vehicle IHOP sees the Jimny as more than just a vehicle; it's a symbol of adventure, connection, and the joy of sharing a meal with loved ones. “We want to inspire people to get out there, explore the world, and create lasting memories,” says the spokesperson. “And what better way to do that than with a stack of pancakes and a rugged little Jimny?” IHOP and Suzuki are also partnering with several outdoor organizations to support conservation efforts and promote responsible off-roading.
