TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants (TSFR), a Michigan-based family-owned restaurant group with an expansive portfolio of casual, quick service and family dining restaurants throughout the state, is celebrating five years of ownership of its 64 Applebee’s restaurants statewide with a five-day celebration September 18-22. Throughout the celebration, TSFR is expected to giveaway $1.2 million in gift cards and free meals to its loyal guests.

Throughout the week, TSFR and its Applebee’s restaurants will offer free meals to kids on Monday, September 18 thru Wednesday, September 20, as well as provide veterans and active military personnel 30 percent off their meals Monday thru Friday. Furthermore, Applebee’s will offer its all-in burgers for $6.99 on National Cheeseburger Day, Monday, September 18, in addition to offering its mucho and craft brewtus drinks for $5 all week long.

On the anniversary day, Wednesday, September 20, the celebration will expand with Applebee’s giving a free $5 gift card to every guest that dines with the neighborhood grill and bar that day and provide five lucky guests with free Applebee’s for a year—two visits per month valued at $25 per visit or $600 for the year.

“As a family-owned company, we purchased the Michigan Applebee’s due to its alignment with our company values of creating a neighborhood dining experience with high-quality food at an affordable price,” said TSFR Director of Marketing Barb Pasciak. “Throughout our five years owning and operating Applebee’s, we have remained committed to bringing a local perspective of the market and a passion for being a fabric of each community we serve to our Applebee’s restaurants. With this celebration, we are giving back to each local resident and business that has supported us along the way. We are proud to be the local owner and operator of these Applebee’s restaurants and look forward to continuing to lead the way both in the restaurant industry and the communities we serve for many more years to come.”

Since purchasing the 64 Michigan Applebee’s in 2012, TSFR has elevated the dining experience for guests by undergoing a more than $12 million revitalization of 60 Applebee’s restaurants and building an additional four new locations in key communities throughout the state. As part of its commitment to giving back to the communities it serves, TSFR has donated more than $1 million in funds and free meals to local schools, youth athletics, families and veterans/active military personnel in need and nonprofit organizations—including JDRF, Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and Make-A-Wish Michigan—through its Dine to Donate, Flapjack Fundraisers and sponsorships.
