Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn in 1999, began its journey with the acquisition of 8 Applebee's restaurants. Over the past two decades, the company has experienced significant growth by both constructing new stores and acquiring other franchise operators. This strategy has led Flynn Group to become the largest Applebee's franchisee globally, operating over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states. This substantial growth is built on a strong foundation that enabled the company to diversify its portfolio beyond Applebee's, expanding into other well-known restaurant brands and fitness industries. Today, Flynn Group proudly owns and operates a diverse set of premier brands, including Arby's, Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Wendy's, and Planet Fitness.
