Latest local news, weather and high school sports for Toledo area

From Aug. 17 to Sept. 13, families can receive one free Kid’s Meal with each adult entrée purchase at two Toledo area IHOP restaurants.

The promotion is valid for items on the “Just for Kid’s” menu and for children 12 and under.  It runs from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the 6920 W. Central Ave. and 4045 Talmadge Road locations.

IHOP hopes to encourage families to eat together without breaking the bank in today's economy.

According to an article in Time Magazine, “Kids who eat most often with their parents are 40 percent more likely to say they get mainly A’s and B’s in school than kids who have fewer family dinners a week.”

"IHOP has always been a destination for families and we are proud to make spending family time over dinner easy for parents without sacrificing quality and value,” said Carolyn O’ Keefe, IHOP’s senior vice president of marketing.
