TEAM Schostak to Rebuild Ludington Applebee’s

LIVONIA, Mich., January 29, 2014—Livonia-based TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants (TSFR), a family-owned restaurant group with an expansive portfolio of casual and fast-casual dining restaurants throughout the state of Michigan, announced today that it will rebuild its Ludington Applebee’s restaurant following a devastating fire earlier this month. The restaurant is expected to reopen this spring. TSFR Marketing Manager Jasmine Neveles made the announcement.

“We are humbled by the Ludington community’s support and outreach to our team during this time of rebuilding,” said Neveles. “As an advocate and partner in this community, we are committed to building a bigger and better Ludington Applebee’s that will enhance our guests’ casual dining experience, further allowing us to serve as an industry leader and retain the most talented work force.”

The new restaurant will not only feature Applebee’s re-modeled restaurant design, but it will also be a third larger to accommodate an additional 20 seats and feature the first outdoor patio in Michigan. The new Applebee’s design offers guest a more modern environment and expanded bar area, complete with local touches specific to the community that guests will recognize and appreciate. Whether guests are looking for a place to watch the big game or enjoy a healthy, family meal together, the newly rebuilt Ludington Applebee’s will offer a feel-good experience where families and friends can connect.

As part of TEAM Schostak’s loyal commitment to its employees and each of its communities that it serves, all Applebee’s employees are being compensated throughout the rebuild of the restaurant. Additionally, TEAM Schostak employees are actively working with local charities during this rebuilding process to further connect with and enhance the Ludington community.

The 65 Michigan Applebee’s are owned and operated by Livonia, Mich.-based TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants.
