EDMOND, Okla. — Families looking to dine out without breaking the bank can take advantage of a generous offer at the IHOP on Second Street in Edmond. The restaurant has been running a “Kids Eat Free” promotion, allowing children 12 and under to eat for free with the purchase of an adult entrée from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. every day, including weekends.
J.R. Najib, the district manager for IHOP, explained the motivation behind the offer. “We see the prices of food is going up, whether in the grocery stores, whether in other restaurants, and we see other restaurants, you know, spike all these prices. And it actually makes it impossible for families to go out and sit down without spending a whole bunch of money,” he said.
The promotion, which began as a limited-time offer, has become a staple due to popular demand. “And then when that stopped, people kept on coming and asking about the kids eat free. So we didn’t say no, we just gave it to them,” Najib said…
