Apple-Metro, Inc., the New York Metro Area Applebee’s franchisee, will open its 34th Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar location on Monday, November 5th at 75 Metropolitan Oval in Bronx, NY.

Applebee’s Parkchester is the first of two new Applebee’s set to open in 2012, as the franchisee has plans to open an additional location in East River Plaza on 117th St, Harlem by the end of the year.

All proceeds from the Applebee’s Parkchester VIP Opening Party – which will take place on Saturday, November 3 from 6:30pm to 9:30pm – will be donated to Bronx Chamber of Commerce to be allocated to local community programs. Local Elected officials including the Bronx Borough President and local Council and Assembly Members have been invited to join in the ceremonial ribbon-cutting.

Not only does this sit-down, casual dining restaurant at Metropolitan Oval in the Bronx offer a comfortable environment for 200+. This location will also offer free Wi-Fi service and Personal Viewing Systems, enabling guests to hear what they are watching on Applebee’s Flat Screen TVs.

Applebee’s Parkchester will officially open to the public for lunch at 11am on Monday, November 5th. The restaurant’s regular business hours will be Sunday through Thursday, from 11am to 12Mid, and Friday and Saturday, from 11am to 1am. To-go service will be available.

With Applebee’s Parkchester creating more than 150 local neighborhood jobs, Apple-Metro, Inc. is confident that their continued growth will be met with positive reaction and results with plans to open additional restaurants throughout 2012 and beyond.
