Job Description

Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn, began its journey in 1999 with the acquisition of eight Applebee's locations. Over the past two decades, the company has experienced significant growth by building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators, which has propelled Flynn Group to become the largest Applebee's franchisee in the world. This solid foundation enabled the Flynn Group to expand its operations beyond Applebee's, diversifying its portfolio across multiple premier brands and industries. Today, Flynn Group owns and operates over 460 Applebee's restaurants across 24 states, making it a dominant force in the casual dining industry.
