Applebee’s Family Restaurant Growth
It was in 1980 when founders and entrepreneurs Bill and T.J. Palmer changed the restaurant theme into a family-friendly concept after originally planning to serve healthy food options. This rebranding has led them to continue what Applebee’s is known for — fresh ingredients that make a hearty meal. Soon enough, Applebee’s became a go-to dinner restaurant for families as it is known for serving dishes that remind its guests of the food it used to cook at home, not to mention those catchy television commercials that feature a table feast.
Applebee’s has a vision of further expanding the brand, and it happened when their lively dining experience concept caught the eye of IHOP Corporation in 2007 (now Dine Brands Global), where they transformed into one of their everyday full-service restaurant companies. Now, Applebee’s franchise operations has over 1,500 locations worldwide.

What’s The Buzz Around Applebee’s?
Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill’s journey continues as in April 2024, Applebee’s was announced to be the official grill restaurant of the National Football League. Through the new partnership, Applebee’s restaurants would draft football fans around the USA by bringing affordable food and drinks to guests on game day.
Last June, Applebee’s released their new Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwiches, which feature a juicy breast part that is hand-breaded and cooked to golden brown perfection. Their chicken sandwiches are of three varieties: Bacon Ranch Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Sweet and Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich, and Bacon Cheddar Crispy Chicken Sandwich.
Applebee’s does not only serve great food, but also raising money for their annual community fundraisers and local charities such as for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a nonprofit organization that aims to fund pediatric cancer research and family support programs. Applebee’s invites their guests to join the cause, too, by purchasing their new Rockin’ Poppin’ Strawberry Lemonade, where 50¢ of each sale will go to the foundation.

From The Club
Eating chicken wings and drinking iced cold iced tea for summertime sips is just one of my favorite bonding activities with my friends, as we’re all looking for an affordable escape. We used to look for all-you-can-eat chicken wing restaurants at an affordable option. Luckily, Applebee’s offers a summer feast, so we’ll add that to our list. I guess more than the feast, Applebee’s is trying to keep memories in their restaurants, which was their aim when they began transforming the restaurant concept back in 1980.
