What is Applebee’s
- The first restaurant opened in 1980 in the state of Alabama by a couple named Bill and TJ Palmer.
- The Palmer’s sold the restaurant a few years later and the restaurant’s name, now a franchise, was changed to Applebee’s Bar & Grill.
- Applebee’s continues to meet the demands of healthier options by partnering with Weight Watchers, and revamping their menu to feature Applebee’s Unbelievably Great Tasting and Under 550 Calories.
