Applebee's Thanking Nurses, Teachers With Free Appetizers At CA Locations

CALIFORNIA — Applebee's restaurants in California are thanking nurses and teachers with a bite of appreciation.

In celebration of National Nurses Week and Teacher Appreciation Week, nurses and teachers can get a free appetizer with the purchase of any entrée through May 10 at locations owned and operated by Flynn Group, the largest franchisee in the Applebee's system.

"Gratitude and respect are the driving forces behind this initiative," said Dan Krebsbach, president of Flynn Applebee's. "Teachers and nurses are pillars of our communities — educators shape the future through their unwavering dedication to students, while nurses provide compassionate care that saves lives every day. Their work is challenging and often overwhelming, so we hope this offer allows them to feel recognized and valued for their incredible contributions to society."

The dine-in only offer is available through May 10. Customers must mention the promotion and show a valid badge.
