Applebee's on Shelbyville Road Closed

When we were out shopping this evening we saw that the Applebee's on Shelbyville in Middletown is closed. The signs are down in the building looks vacant. There was actually a U-Haul truck backed up to the building.

Not a big surprise but just thought I'd let everyone know.

Casual sit-down chains are being absolutely decimated by the current eating climate. I suspect you'll see a lot more like this before it's over.

I certainly agree, there are several others that always have empty parking lots every time we go by them. I don't understand how they stay in business.
