MEDFORD, Ore. -- IHOP is breaking ground today with plans to be fully operational by August 15th, 2019.
Rain could delay the construction this week. It will all depend on what the weather allows. Even with that change, IHOP should be ready by the end of the summer.

Construction will be happening from 7am to 4pm every day of the week.
It is located on Center Drive, next to Wal-Mart and the several hotels in the area.
Some viewers have been reacting to the new building. Some think that it is an April Fools' joke. It is not a joke. IHOP should be ready by the end of the summer.
Traffic in the area will only be affected for 2 days during the project. Those days are still to be announced, but are not in the near future.
