CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - There are no plans to close any of Ohio's Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bars despite an announcement recently that up to 135 will end service soon across the country. DineEquity, the parent company of Applebee's, said it will close between 105-135 restaurants in the United States. Apple American Group, which is a subsidiary of Flynn Restaurant Group, said today the franchised Applebee's locations will remain open in Ohio. "Our Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar locations are 100 percent open for business and we look forward to continuing to deliver an excellent dining experience that our guests have grown to love," a company statement said. Based in Glendale, CA, DineEquity, Inc. (NYSE: DIN), operates restaurants under both the Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar and IHOP brands.
