Applebee’s History

You cannot talk about casual dining in the United States without mentioning Applebee’s International, Inc. The firm is a leader in the sector and operates more than 2000 restaurants under the name Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill and Bar, about 500 of which it owns. The restaurant’s concept concentrates mainly on casual dining with primary American foods such as chicken, shrimp, riblets and pasta.

Origins

The first Applebee’s restaurant was opened by William Palmer and his wife in Atlanta in 1980 under the name T.J. Applebee’s Rx for Edibles & Elixirs. Offering a comfortable and unique menu, the eatery was a great success. The restaurateur’s objective was to create a pub and restaurant like neighborhood where people could order quality foods at affordable prices. Although simple, the concept was successful that it began attracting attention of larger food firms like W.R. Grace & Co. which eventually purchased the concept from William and T. J. Palmer 1983.

Applebee’s Major Growth Spurt

Even though the W.R.Grace &Co managed to bring more franchises into the system, it had only attained moderate profitability and growth by 1987.Hence in 1988, the company sold the restaurant’s concept to John Hamra and Abel Gustin. Under the new leadership, Applebee’s International Inc.’s revenues soared 500% to over 24.21 million dollars in 1989.The increase was largely attributed to the new franchises that the new owners were acquiring. By the year 2007 the company had grown to over 1000 units.

Applebee’s was acquired by IHOP corp in November 2007 and as a result IHOP changed its name to DineEquity. As of April 2016 the firm had over 2000 table service restaurants operating in the United States, Puerto Rico and other countries all operated and owned by franchisees.
