Valentine’s Day is the perfect time for Bakersfield residents to check out Applebees’ newly renovated location at 9000 Ming Ave. Feb. 10 marks the anticipated re-grand opening event, although the restaurant is open during the construction process. The renovation will incorporate a remodeled interior and exterior with warmer color tones, contemporary design; features specific to the neighborhood the restaurant serves; service improvements; and new food and drink selections. This is part of a series of new designs Applebee’s is developing with a goal to complete the revitalization of all company-owned and franchise restaurants by 2014.

The renovations are intended to give guests a stronger connection to their individual neighborhoods; the pop-culture tchotchkes will be replaced by items specific to each restaurant. The most noticeable changes at the revamped Bakersfield restaurant include the replacement of the exterior striped awnings with oversized, contemporary ones that elongate the building and highlight the façade. Guests will also appreciate the changes beyond the bricks and mortar. New kitchen procedures mean guests receive fresh, hot meals faster than ever. Kitchen staff re-training emphasized the finer culinary points in preparing the restaurant’s most popular entrees. The company also re-certified team members to deliver superior service in a way that is uniquely Applebee’s.
