Denny’s

Denny’s, located at at 405 S 7th Street  in Bismarck, originally opened as a Village Inn Pancake House in December 1972. Not to be confused with Village Inn Pizza, which opened at 434 S 3rd Street in 1971, was the first Village Inn Pancake House to open in North Dakota.

International Inn replaced the restaurant in 1986 before Denny’s replaced it in 1988.
