I have a decent stack of gift cards I received in payment for some work I did. Do I have to rush to use them up? No local news on this one.

With the bad meal we had there, I wouldn't be surprised!
@RetRN right?

Looks like they've been in a bit of trouble the last couple of years..... this is from 2018:
Applebee's closed 99 locations in 2017 — and it's about to close dozens more in 2018. Applebee's announced on Tuesday that it plans to close 60 to 80 locations in 2018. Applebee's shuttered 99 locations in 2017. Executives have blamed the chain's failed attempt to win over millennials for its downward spiral.Feb 20, 2018...
But it looks like they are trying to turn it around...This is from 2019 ----still struggling
Third Quarter of 2019
Applebee’s comparable same-restaurant sales decreased 1.6% for the third quarter of 2019.
Applebee’s comparable same-restaurant sales decreased 0.1% for the nine months of 2019.

@AuntG, the food and service was really bad! Seems like these places can not find good workers. Burger King food was unedible, remember that?

I don't know if they have filed or not but they have been in trouble for sometime now.
I would use them up asap.
Both my daughter and son-in-law are in the restaurant industry and they will say to us if you have gift cards to such and such, use them up because word has it they are in trouble and have started closing locations.

The Applebee's in my area closed a while ago.

My friends and I ate at Applebee's and we weren't impressed with their food at all.
And I noticed that one of their restaurants here recently closed and is now a Mexican Restaurant.

I would find a couple takeout items that I liked and use them up or find someone who wants them like a charity because today you never know when somethng is going to close.

They used to be nice.
My BBF asked me to take her there for her first post hip replacement meal long ago. I was so tickled to use her handicap tag.

I haven't heard anything about bankrupcy. I do know that all Applebees aren't alike. There is one nearby that is really bad and there is another one that is excellent. It all has to do with that specific location. They have great deals for Military, active and retired. Monday's its 30% off and we usually go twice a month. They are busy on Monday's, they are busy anyday after 4:30.
