Company Profile

In 1980, William F. Palmer had a vision for a friendly neighborhood bar and grill and opened the original Applebee's on November 19, 1980, in Decatur, Georgia. Mr. Palmer grew the concept, and in 1983 sold Applebee's Inc. to W.R. Grace, remaining as president for two years. In 1985, Mr. Palmer formed the company Cafe Ventures d.b.a. Applebee's and began opening restaurants as a franchisee. W.R. Grace sold their Applebee's restaurants in 1988, thus becoming Applebee's International, Inc., and today is America's largest casual dining concept with nearly 2,000 locations worldwide.

With the philosophy of food, fun and friendliness, AppleCreek Management Company, Inc., currently operates 40 Applebee's in Georgia.

We believe our restaurants are a unique place for our Guests to eat, drink, and socialize. Our outstanding reputation in the community is vital to our success, and we are committed to serving our Guests with dedicated fun, friendly people.
