One Thanksgiving breakfast you don’t want to miss, The Original Pancake House is not only open on Thanksgiving, but all that day’s sales will be donated to War Veterans of the United States in appreciation of those who have sacrificed to keep our country safe.  There will be 46 associates and managers from several Original Pancake House DFW locations who have volunteered to work on their day off.  “We wanted to make sure everyone has a place to go get something to eat on Thanksgiving,” Owner Mark Davis Bailey said. “I remember 15 years ago when I took over The Original Pancake House in DFW that many of our associates including myself were single or didn’t necessarily have a place to gather for the holiday. Since we are open to help people on this day, we decided to give the excess sales back to charity.”

WHEN: 7 a.m. - Noon

COST: Depending on menu item ordered
