The newest tenant at The Newport Pavilion came to terms with Anchor Associates yesterday afternoon, a source close to the situation tells FortThomasMatters.com. After months of anxiously awaiting an announcement, fans of Newport’s cornerstone development finally have news.

Ihop will be building out a new location near the Tire Discounters on the corner of Memorial Parkway and Pavilion Parkway.

A complete buildout of this location had our source estimating completion between 6-9 months. 

While mainly a breakfast destination, the International House of Pancakes, also offers lunch and dinner options. Ihop has 1,500 locations nationwide and its parent company also owns Applebees.

Here are the closest Ihop’s to Fort Thomas.

So what’s next for Newport Pavilion? According to our source, it will most likely continue to be restaurants and “smaller retail.”

What do you think of the latest announcement?
