About Applebee's


From Wikipedia

The Applebee's chain was started by Bill and T.J. Palmer who opened their first restaurant, T.J. Applebee’s Rx for Edibles & Elixirs, in Atlanta, Georgia in 1980. After opening their second restaurant the pair sold their company to W. R. Grace and Company in 1983.

About Applebee's (Continued)

...subsidiary of W. R. Grace and Company. In that capacity, Palmer guided the operation from its entrepreneurial beginnings to a full-fledged franchise system. He became an Applebee's franchisee in 1985 and today owns more than three dozen Applebee's restaurants.

In 1986, the name of the concept was changed to Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar to reflect the Palmers' original concept of a place people could call their own.

In 1988, Applebee's International, Inc. became the restaurant chain's franchisor when Kansas City franchisees Abe Gustin and John Hamra purchased the rights to the Applebee's concept from W. R. Grace.

Today, with more than 1,800 restaurants, Applebee's is the world's largest casual dining restaurant chain.[citation needed] For each of the past 13 years (1993-2005), Applebee's has opened 100 or more new restaurants. The company estimates the development potential of the Applebee's concept in the United States to be at least 3,000 restaurants. Recently, Applebee's began promoting ads featuring Tyler Florence, a popular chef from the Food Network.

On March 22, 2007, Applebee's announced they were closing 24 units in the coming months. This compares to the typical 1-2 units that are typically shuttered. It was announced that 10 of the units were in New England with the remainder in nine other states.

On June 10, 2007, a toddler was served margarita mix in a sippy cup by the Applebee's restaurant manager in Antioch, California. The toddler became sick and required medical attention. The incident was labeled an honest mistake because both apple juice and margarita mix were kept in identical containers. The franchise offered to pay for medical costs and to provide free meals. The container problem was also resolved as different containers are being used.[

On July 16, 2007, IHOP Corp. announced that it agreed to buy Applebee's International for about $2.1 billion. Applebee's shareholders would receive $25.50 in cash per share, representing a 4.6 percent premium to the closing price on July 13, 2007. IHOP, which franchises nearly all of its restaurants, said it hoped to employ that strategy with Applebee's.
