Apple American Group is a part of Flynn Restaurant Group. Founded by Greg Flynn in 1998 it has grown from eight Applebee’s in Washington State to over 475. Flynn Restaurant Group now has over 750 restaurants totaling $1.7 billion in sales. Today, through its three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Apple American Group, Bell American, and Pan American, the company owns and operates over 480 Applebee’s, 200 Taco Bells, and 50 Panera’s directly employing 40,000 people in 28 states. In our restaurants, “Own it!” has become a mantra. Empowering our operators to make local decisions works only when they own their results. To ensure that happens, we purposefully build our teams with leaders who are nimble, decisive, and action-oriented. In doing so, we’ve created a culture where mediocrity is never acceptable and people strive to earn a reputation for excellence.

At Apple American, our vision remains constant – to be the premier Applebee’s franchisee and one of the best operators in the industry. Our structure is designed to hire and retain great people, empower them to run consistently superior operations, and achieve sustained growth. No Applebee’s restaurant is the same. For example, we have restaurants in Savannah, GA, and Bellingham, WA. These restaurants are nearly 3,000 miles apart and require a different approach to reach their full potential. That’s why we give our managers the freedom to run their restaurant as if they owned it. We have “federal” standards and rules that we apply everywhere, but we believe the best results come from giving local operators the opportunity to determine what’s right for their business.
