Over the subsequent two decades, the company expanded significantly through the development of new stores and strategic acquisitions of other franchise operators, ultimately becoming the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world. This strong foundation enabled Flynn Group to diversify its portfolio beyond Applebee's, expanding into various other renowned brands, markets, and industry segments. With over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states, the Flynn Group has established a leading presence in the casual dining industry and beyond.

Today, Flynn Applebee's is one of seven premier brands operated by the Flynn Group.
