Dine Brands Global, Inc. (NYSE: DIN) is one of the world's largest full-service restaurant companies, operating and franchising restaurants under three brands: Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar, IHOP, and Fuzzy's Taco Shop. As of June 28, 2026, the company's system comprised approximately 3,289 unique restaurant locations (3,467 counting dual-branded locations separately), including 3,235 franchised and 135 company-owned restaurants across IHOP, Applebee's, and Fuzzy's. The company operates an asset-lite franchise model, generating revenue primarily through franchise royalties, advertising fees, rental income from properties leased to franchisees, and increasingly from company-owned restaurant operations. Dine Brands has been expanding its company-owned restaurant portfolio through acquisitions from franchisees, particularly in the Applebee's system, and is actively pursuing a dual-brand strategy that co-locates IHOP and Applebee's concepts within single restaurant locations, with 81 such dual-branded locations operating as of Q2 2026. The company expanded into the fast-casual segment in 2022 through the Fuzzy's Taco Shop brand. Updated
