Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn, began its journey in the restaurant industry with the acquisition of 8 Applebee's locations in 1999. Over the past two decades, the company has experienced significant growth through both the construction of new stores and strategic acquisitions of other franchise operators. Today, Flynn Group proudly stands as the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world, operating over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states. This solid foundation has enabled the Flynn Group to diversify its portfolio beyond Applebee's, expanding into additional restaurant brands and industries worldwide. The company now owns and operates a diversified collection of premier brands across diverse market segments, including Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness.
