IHOP FRANCHISE IN KEYPORT ANNOUNCES NEW OWNER & NATIONAL EFFORT TO RAISE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

KEYPORT - New Jersey entrepreneur Jack Sayegh is investing in Monmouth County with the purchase of the IHOP restaurant in Keyport. Sayegh and his family presently own movie theaters and other businesses throughout New Jersey.

IHOP will host its tenth National Pancake Day on March 3, 2015, where guests can celebrate a "Decade of Giving" and enjoy a free short stack of Buttermilk pancakes at IHOP restaurants around the country. In return for the free pancakes, guests will be asked to consider leaving a donation for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals© or other designated local charities. IHOP's goal this year is to raise 3.5 million dollars nationally.

In addition to complimentary pancakes on National Pancake Day, Sayegh and his team will be giving out free pancakes from 12pm to 2pm on March 2nd to honor the grand opening and ribbon cutting.

Sayegh, who has committed a minimum of $5,000 from the Keyport location alone, is taking over ownership of this high traffic IHOP location from veteran business owners Cliff and Mitzy Moore.
