IHOP Teams Up with Renault to Bring a Dash of Fun to Breakfast (and Playtime!)

Pasadena, CA – October 26, 2023 – IHOP Restaurants LLC, the pancake powerhouse known for its all-day breakfast, is doing something a little different. We’re not just serving up fluffy stacks anymore – we’re helping fuel imaginations with a surprising new partnership: Renault toys! Yeah, you heard that right. IHOP, the place you go for a late-night craving or a family brunch, is now offering a range of Renault-branded toy cars and playsets. It might sound a little out there, but trust us, it's a surprisingly sweet combo. So, What's the Deal with Renault Toys? For years, IHOP has been about bringing people together. We’re a place where families make memories, friends catch up, and solo diners enjoy a comforting meal. We were thinking, what else do families love? Playing! And what’s a classic toy that sparks creativity and hours of fun? Cars! That’s where Renault comes in. Renault is a renowned automotive manufacturer known for its innovation and style. They make awesome cars, and they make really cool toy cars. They've got everything from miniature versions of their iconic models, to fun, colourful playsets where kids can build their own car-themed worlds. A Perfect Pairing? We Think So! “We were brainstorming ways to add a little extra happiness to our guests’ experiences,” says Darren Rebelez, IHOP’s President. “And it hit us – breakfast and playtime go hand-in-hand! Parents need a place to fuel their bodies, and kids need something to fuel their imaginations. This partnership lets us deliver on both fronts." The range of Renault toys available through IHOP isn’t just about slapping a logo on something. We worked closely with Renault to curate a collection that’s high-quality, durable, and genuinely fun. What Can You Expect? Here's a quick peek at what's available: Renault 5 Die-Cast Models: These miniature versions of the iconic Renault 5 are super detailed and perfect for collectors – or just for zooming around the breakfast table! They come in a variety of colours, so kids can pick their favourite. Renault Clio Playsets: These sets include a miniature Renault Clio car and a little garage/repair shop where kids can pretend to be mechanics. It’s great for encouraging role-playing and fine motor skills. Renault Trucks & Construction Sets: For the little builders, we have Renault-branded truck and construction sets. Kids can build their own construction sites and use the trucks to haul materials. It’s a great way to encourage problem-solving and creativity. Renault Formula 1 Race Cars: For the future racers, we have miniature Renault Formula 1 cars. These sleek, aerodynamic cars are perfect for high-speed play. Vroom, vroom! Renault City Playscape: This larger playset features a miniature city with roads, buildings, and even a Renault dealership. Kids can create their own little world and let their imaginations run wild.
