This growth trajectory has positioned Flynn Group as the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world, operating more than 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states. The strong foundation built through this success has enabled Flynn Group to diversify its portfolio, expanding into other well-known brands, various countries, and different industries.
