Applebee's in Monroe to Get a Facelift

Restaurant will be redecorated with hometown murals. Current memorabilia from the restaurant is on sale with proceeds to benefit a local charity. Sale ends Oct. 28.

Applebee’s in Monroe, Ga. is about to get a facelift. According to Applebee's officials, the restaurant, located at 142 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., will close at 10 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 4, for a two-day remodel. It will open again on Nov. 6 with its transformation complete.
 
According to a press release from Applebee's head office, prior to the remodel, guests will have the opportunity to purchase the sports and entertainment memorabilia currently decorating the Applebee’s walls. One hundred percent of the funds raised from the memorabilia sale will benefit Gentle Hope, a local non-profit organization, founded and spearheaded by Jenny Gentle-Benson, that assists families facing medical hardships. Décor will be available for purchase Oct. 21 through 28. Memorabilia will not be specifically priced; all that’s needed is a good offer and the items will change hands.
 
“We’re most excited about the restaurant’s new features that celebrate the city of Monroe, specifically the murals featuring George Walton Academy, Monroe Area, Social Circle, Loganville and Walnut Grove high schools on our walls,” said Dan Shulimson, general manager for Applebee’s Monroe. “The new murals help us create a stronger connection between Applebee’s and the city that’s been so great to us during the past six years.”


According to the press release, the new and improved Monroe Applebee’s will also feature several enhancements to make customers’ experiences more enjoyable, such as new, larger High Definition flat-screen TVs. This fall, locals will be able to watch the NFL Sunday Ticket on DIRECTV®, making every pro game accessible throughout the season. The restaurant will also feature a completely revamped inside and outside.

Special menu deals like the $6.99 Pick and Pair lunch combinations (up to 75 to choose from!) and 2 for $20 (one shareable appetizer and two entrees for $20) also will be offered.
