The smoking bans around the country have ruined these franchises. I used to enjoy going to places like this eating and then having a few drinks while enjoying a good smoke ! And I always tipped well! Can't enjoy myself, no sense in going!

I don't smoke anymore but I used to and you make a damn fine point.

Applebee’s sucks, that’s why they’re going out of business. When’s the last time you’ve been hungry and though, “Damn I want some Applebee’s!”

I agree. I marvel that there are people who enjoy places like this- I find chain foods to be disappointing in general.

Never been to an Applebee's; and I rarely go to "chains." Second biggest franchisee going up for auction is probably not a good sign for the co. as a whole unless they just over levered it, which it sounds like via an LBO. Maybe the parent will buy it back nice and cleaned up.
