LIVONIA, Mich., —TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants (TSFR), a Michigan-based restaurant group with an expansive portfolio of casual dining, quick service and family dining restaurants throughout the state, announced today that its 66 Michigan Applebee’s restaurants are kicking off the holiday season with the launch of its holiday gift card promotion, offering individuals the opportunity to gift a Michigan-made dining experience to friends and family.

Recently increasing its partnership with Michigan-based vendors and completing an extensive revitalization of its restaurants to include local artifacts from the community, the locally owned and operated Michigan Applebee’s restaurants are offering families and friends who purchase $50 in gift cards an additional $10 bonus card, which can be used toward the purchase of food and drinks produced in Michigan. Applebee’s menu includes a wide variety ofdelicious selections, utilizing fresh Michigan produce whenever possible. Additionally, Applebee’s recently partnered with Michigan breweries, including Bell’s, Perrin and Founders, offering their beer, as well as Detroit-based Two James Spirits, the first distillery in Detroit since Prohibition, to offer mitten-made craft spirits to guests.

“Applebee’s gift cards are the perfect gift or stocking stuffer that offers families, friends and co-workers the chance to enjoy a night out, while simultaneously supporting Michigan-based businesses,” Pasciak said. “TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants’ recent investment in revitalizing our Applebee’s is enhancing the Michigan dining experience, making now the perfect time to visit your neighborhood location.”

Applebee’s special holiday gift card promotion runs through Jan. 1, 2015, and the bonus gift card can be used on all menu items through February 28, 2015.
