    Waffle House and the International House of Pancakes, IHOP, shared similar beginnings; both had their roots in the 50’s and rode the fast food boom to their modern day status among the pantheon of iconic American chain restaurants and eateries. How they brand themselves affects our perceptions of these restaurants before we even walk through the door, but just how much does branding and approach matter? As they have changed and evolved, their styles and values so too have diverged, however, their goal remains the same; to bring a consistent selection of quality breakfast foods to you, even if it’s not really breakfast at all. Waffle House’s logo is, well, inspired by the “combs” of a waffle. It has carried over from the very early days of the restaurant and is…

Whenever I have walked into a Whole Foods I do not get the feeling that it looks like the last one I have been in, it makes me want to explore the store and see what is new and different from the last one. This is a great model for them to build upon and something that I believe more stores need to…
