Apple American Group Revenue and Competitors

Apple American Group LLC owns and operates approximately 189 Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar restaurants in Ohio, Indiana, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Washington State, California and Nevada. With $440 million in 2008 sales and directly employing over 11,690 people, Apple American is the largest Applebee's franchisee, and is one of the 10 largest franchisees of any concept in the world. Founded in 1998 by Chairman and CEO Greg Flynn, Apple American is committed to growth. It is the top franchise developer in the Applebee's system, opening & acquiring over 50 new restaurants in the last 24 months. As growth continues, Apple American remains dedicated to making every location a truly neighborhood restaurant responsive to the needs of each guest, each employee, and each community. To facilitate this, Apple American is built on a substantially decentralized business model. Each geographic region is led by a Market President who operates his or her market with great local autonomy while receiving administrative and financial support from the central organization. Coupling local empowerment with deep resources and high standards, Apple American Group strives to be the premier franchise group in the Applebee's system. By doing so, we provide exceptional casual dining experiences to our guests, rewarding career opportunities to our employees, and superior profits to our shareholders.
