Job Description

Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn, started its journey in 1999 with the acquisition of eight Applebee's restaurants. Over the next two decades, the company grew steadily by building new locations and acquiring additional franchise operators, ultimately becoming the largest Applebee's franchisee globally. This solid foundation enabled Flynn Group to expand beyond Applebee's, entering new brands, countries, and industries. Today, Flynn Group operates over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states, positioning themselves as a dominant leader in the casual dining segment of the restaurant industry.

Flynn Applebee's represents one of seven premier brands within Flynn Group's diverse portfolio. The company has evolved into the largest franchise operator in the world, managing well-known and respected restaurant brands, including Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and the fitness brand Planet Fitness.
