Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn, began its journey in 1999 with the acquisition of eight Applebee's restaurants. Over the following two decades, the company expanded substantially by both constructing new stores and acquiring other franchise operators, culminating in Flynn Group becoming the largest Applebee's franchisee worldwide.
