Job Description

Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn in 1999, began its journey with the acquisition of eight Applebee's restaurants. Over the course of two decades, the company expanded significantly by both building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators. This steady growth transformed Flynn Group into the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world, with over 460 restaurants spanning 24 states. The strong foundation developed through this expansion allowed Flynn Group to diversify further, branching out into other renowned brands, markets, and industries beyond Applebee's.
