According to the Daily Chronicle, "Applebee's Grill and Bar, 2411 Sycamore Road in DeKalb, announced via social media on Wednesday it has closed its doors."

I don't imagine too many people will be worried about this. Honestly, other than sitting at the bar, I haven't been to an Applebee's since I was a kid. I don't know why. I use to love it. Then after a few bad experiences (food sucked) I just stopped.

They don't even pop into my head when I am thinking of places to eat at. I don't think I am the only one either because there have been many closings around the country.

I do love what they did on their Facebook page after announcing the closing. Check this out.

Yup! Here is a coupon...that you can't use here. LOL! I guess that is one way to do it. When people use the coupon they will be instantly reminded of the fact they had to drive all the way to whatever location they're at instead of eating at the Applebee's in Dekalb.
