You never know what businesses are gonna join forces these days, and I bet a lot of folks out there didn’t have this on their Bingo cards!

A TikTokker named Anilah surprised a lot of viewers when she posted a video that showed an Applebee’s and an IHOP under the same roof.

Anilah filmed the building from outside and asked, “Why does it say IHOP-Applebee’s?”

The TikTokker went inside the building and saw that the business was indeed a combination of an Applebee’s and an IHOP.

Anilah said that an employee told her the two restaurant chains merged.

Well, this is quite a development!
