Applebee’s Rx for Edibles & Elixirs, in Decatur, Georgia on January 1, 1980. After opening their second restaurant the pair sold their company to W. R. Grace and Company in 1983. As part of the transaction, Bill Palmer was named president of the Applebee's Division an indirect subsidiary of W. R. Grace and Company. In that capacity, Palmer guided the operation from its entrepreneurial beginnings to a full- fledged franchise system. He became an Applebee's franchisee in 1985 and today owns more than three dozen Applebee's restaurants. In 1986, the name of the concept was changed to Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar to reflect the Palmers' original concept of a place people could call their own. Typical Applebee's in Coral Springs, Florida In 1988, Applebee's International, Inc. became the restaurant chain's franchiser when Kansas City franchisees Abe Gustin and John Hamra purchased the rights to the Applebee's concept from W. R. Grace.[3][4] Locations that have carside to go usually have two or three designated parking spaces for such use. This location is in La Habra, California. Today, with more than 1,900 restaurants, Applebee's is the world's largest casual dining restaurant chain. From 1993 to 2005, Applebee's opened 100 or more new Headquarters in Lenexa (now called Restaurant Support Center) Applebee’s Kansas City-area headquarters was in Overland Park, Kansas. In January 2008 it moved to neighboring Lenexa, Kansas per an agreement made in APPLEBEE’S HEADQUARTES Applebee’s Kansas City-area headquarters was in Overland Park, Kansas. In January 2008 it moved to neighboring Lenexa, Kansas per an agreement made in 2005 before it was taken over by IHOP (now DineEquity) to a new 175,000-square-foot (16,300 m2) building designed by BNIM (lured by a 90 percent property tax reduction offer). However DineEquity has since been downsizing the headquarters presence as it has begun a strategy of converting its company-owned restaurants to franchises with a goal of having 98 percent of its restaurants franchised by 2013. In July 2008 DineEquity sold the headquarters (officially called the Restaurant Support Center) for $39 million in a sale-leaseback arrangement. The company has now listed the headquarters for sale and is reported looking for new space after it was announced that its headquarters staff of 325 on January 30, 2009 did not meet Lenexa’s requirement that at least 497 be employed at the headquarters to receive the property tax abatement.
