Applebee’s Restaurants seem to become neighborhood landmarks, regardless of how long they have been there. The first one was opened in 1980 in Atlanta, Georgia, by Bill and T.J. Palmer. By 1985 Applebee’s had become a franchise, and in 1989 it had completed an initial public offering of common stock. In the same year, they opened their 100th location. 10 years later, in 1999, Applebee’s consisted of an impressive 1168 restaurants. In the year 2000, Applebee’s introduced a new menu and their development expanded internationally to include restaurants in Latin America and the Middle East. By this time, Applebee’s had changed hands a few times and in 2005 they celebrated the opening of their 1500th restaurant, which was owned and operated by Bill Palmer, the founder of the first restaurant and the current franchise. Applebee’s continued to grow internationally and added a restaurant in China in 2007. Most recently, ServSafe Alcohol awarded Applebee’s the Best Chain in their Responsible Alcohol Service Training Program. Applebee’s currently operates the largest casual dining chain in the world. Many of its restaurants offer the popular and covenient Carside to Go service, where a customer calls in an order, drives to Applebee’s, parks in a designated Carside to Go parking space, and waits for a server to deliver the order to the vehicle.
