IHOP To Open Location In The Bay Terrace Shopping Center

BAY TERRACE, QUEENS — The International House of Pancakes is coming to the Bay Terrace Shopping Center, according to a social media post.

IHOP will open a location in the vacant space next to the fashion retailer Express, a representative for the shopping center said on Facebook.

There is no set opening date yet, a spokesperson for the shopping center's owner, Cord Meyer, told Patch.

This will be the breakfast spot's second location in northeastern Queens, according to the IHOP website. There is already one on Northern Boulevard in Murray Hill.

News of IHOP's impending arrival comes amid a period of turnover for the Bay Terrace Shopping Center, with the departures of fashion retailer American Eagle, Yankee Candle and local health food chain The Health Nuts.

The Cord Meyer spokesperson declined to comment on speculation that rent spikes are to blame for the closures.
