Yes, but how many veterans live and work in the areas that have and Applebee's?
I understand that Applebees has 1600 Locations but of course some are worldwide. I wrote an eMail to them and Jessica V.
Guest Relations Coordinator II side stepped the Ouestion of "Since they are in control of their franchises, why aren't the others in the US required to offer the Meals.
