Area Director

Flynn Group, founded by Greg Flynn started its journey with the acquisition of 8 Applebee’s in 1999. Over the next two decades we grew by building new stores and acquiring other franchise operators to become the largest Applebee’s franchisee in the world. This strong foundation is what allowed Flynn Group to expand into other brands, countries, and industries. We have over 460 Applebee’s restaurants in 24 states.

Established in 2021, Flynn Wendy’s has swiftly become a key player within the Flynn Group, owning and operating 300+ Wendy’s restaurants across 8 states. With a diverse and dedicated team of over 6,000 employees, Flynn Wendy’s stands as the 5th largest Wendy’s franchise in the entire Wendy’s system. Our success is a result of the hard work and commitment of every team member.

At Flynn Wendy’s, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment where the ideas and contributions of every team member are valued and celebrated.

Quality is our Recipe here at Wendy’s. And like the fresh ingredients that go into our recipes, we want our employees to also be top‑notch.
