History of Pancake House Philippines
1970
Three Pioneering entrepreneurs Milagros Basa, Leticia Zamora, and Carmen Zaragosa, First introduced freshly baked pancakes and waffles in varied flavors and preparations to a predominantly rice-based consuming market. The very first Pancake House restaurant opens in Magallanes, geared to serve the A, B, and upper C markets.
1974 -1998
Sta. Rosa Food Services Corporation (SRFSC) is incorporated to handle the management and operation of Pancake House. Several years later, it would be jointly co-owned by another formidable company, Extrovert Inc.
The posh Ayala Arcade in Makati becomes the new home of the second Pancake House in 1995. Resounding market response spurs a third outlet at United Nations Avenue in Manila.
The first franchised outlet opens in Greenhills in San Juan in 1978.
Following this successful launch, more Pancake House outlets – both company-owned and franchised – open in strategic sites. The company expands its operations steadily, requiring the setting up of a central commissary to support the logistical and operational needs of the growing number of restaurants.
Another company, Extrovert Inc., is established to hold ownership of the succeeding Pancake House outlets in 1998.
