Applebee’s Reinvents Casual Dining at New White Marsh Restaurant

NOTTINGHAM, Md., October 12, 2016 — The Rose Group, a leading franchisee of Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar and Corner Bakery Cafe restaurants, is opening its newest Applebee’s location with the restaurant chain’s chic reimagined design Oct. 18 at 5231 Campbell Blvd., in Nottingham, Maryland.

Applebee’s has been rolling out its new look nationwide with restaurants featuring the latest loft style design trends like exposed stone and brick, tall spacious windows, industrial Edison bulb style lighting and unique to this particular location, outdoor seating and a fire pit that visitors can cozy up to, right in time for the crisp fall weather.

The Nottingham Applebee’s offers the restaurant’s recently redesigned menu, featuring Hand-Cut Wood-Fired top sirloin steaks, Cedar Plank Salmon and the Crispy Brewhouse Chicken, along with sides such as Crispy Cheddar Bacon Potatoes and Fire Grilled Veggies. The bar offers 14 rotating taps, pouring a wide variety of craft beers that pair with Applebee’s updated menu. Inside, sports fans won’t miss a moment with wall-to-wall TVs equipped with DIRECTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket, showing every minute of multiple NFL football games.

“We value our customers and want them to have a great time at our restaurants,” commented Jeff Warden, CEO of The Rose Group. “This new design is not only great for outdoor diners, fire pit lovers, beer connoisseurs and sports fans, but also for the families we’ve loved to serve over the 21 years we’ve operated in Maryland. Providing an enjoyable and delicious dining experience is our mission, and adding more of what you love is how we do it.”

All Applebee’s customers who stop in to the new Applebee’s location before Nov. 1 can enter to win Free Applebee’s for a Year, and will be some of the first in Maryland to experience the new Applebee’s design.
