About us

Founded by Greg Flynn in 1999, Flynn Group has grown from a small Applebee's operator and developer in Washington State into the world's largest franchise operator and one of the 20 largest foodservice companies in the United States. Today, Flynn Group owns and operates a diversified portfolio of iconic brands, including 430+ Applebee's, 280+ Taco Bell, 360+ Arby's, 130+ Panera Bread, 930+ Pizza Hut, 190+ Wendy's, 100+ Planet Fitness clubs, and 7 Brew Coffee locations across 44 U.S. states. The company's international footprint also includes 280+ Pizza Hut and Wendy's restaurants in Australia. Altogether, Flynn Group's portfolio includes more than 2,600 restaurants and fitness clubs, generating $4.5 billion in annual sales and employing 80,000 team members. Flynn Group’s primary mission is to be the premier operator within each of its brands. In pursuit of this mission, Flynn has developed a uniquely empowering culture and a relatively de-centralized operating structure which enable our leaders to take a long-term view of success and to invest appropriately in our people and assets to produce sustainable premier results. Though large, Flynn remains entrepreneurial in its spirit and DNA, while also maintaining a highly inclusive and collaborative culture. The team shares a communal sense of pride and a deep connection to achieving the company’s mission and success. Flynn Group, a franchisee unlike any other, is centered around providing growth opportunities to our loyal and dedicated team members. Our size, scale and structure allow us to commit to employee development and growth, empowering you to OWN your full potential. We invest in our people giving you access to training and development programs, mentorship, and career development resources. Our success to date and future growth potential is entirely due to our consistent, unique, and unbelievably strong culture.

Get a sneak peek from Bo at what’s to come: https://lnkd.in/efmEc-zn Then, get ready for the first full-length episode on 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟳, featuring Ron Bellamy, President & COO. Real leaders.

  • Every new leadership role comes with new responsibilities, new challenges, and an opportunity to keep growing. This month, our newest Area Directors came together for AD Leadership Academy, spending two days learning, connecting, and preparing for what comes next in their careers with Flynn. Through sessions focused on leadership, communication, and developing their teams, our ADs built new skills, strengthened connections with one another, and left with tools they can bring back to their markets. The learning may happen in the classroom, but the impact goes far beyond it. By investing in our leaders, we’re helping them grow so they can create opportunities, develop their people, and build stronger teams along the way. A special thank you to our Training & Development team for bringing the Academy to life and continuing to invest in our leaders at every stage of their journey. Congratulations to our newest ADs! We’re excited to see where this next chapter takes you. #FlynnGroup #OwnIt #RecipeForPremier #GrowWithFlynn

  • Something BIG is brewing at Flynn Group! ☕ Our first modular 7 Brew building has officially been set in place in Visalia, California, marking an important step forward in our journey with the brand. Reaching this milestone has taken months of planning, collaboration, and hard work across our Real Estate, Development, Construction, Operations, Finance, and support teams, alongside our partners at 7 Brew. Seeing our first building officially in place is an exciting moment and signals what’s ahead as we bring 7 Brew to new communities. A huge thank you to everyone who played a role in making this possible. Visalia is just the beginning. Let’s Brew! #FlynnGroup #RecipeforPremier #OwnIt #GrowthMeansOpportunity #GrowWithFlynn

  • There’s always something to learn when great teams come together. Last week, the OPX team spent time with Flynn Group in our Nashville Pizza Hut market, connecting with our leaders and restaurant teams, talking operations, and sharing ideas along the way. We’re proud of the incredible team in Nashville and the culture of strong leadership and development they continue to build. Connections like these give us another opportunity to learn, share, and keep growing together. Thank you to the OPX team for spending time with us! #FlynnGroup #RecipeforPremier #OwnIt #GrowthProvidesOpportunities

  • Sometimes the best conversations happen outside the conference room! Recently, members of the Flynn Group leadership team spent time in our Pizza Hut restaurants, connecting with our people and the teams at the heart of our day-to-day operations. At Flynn, growth provides opportunities, but staying connected as we grow takes intention. Moments like these keep our leaders close to our people and the teams making it all happen every day. #FlynnGroup #RecipeforPremier #OwnIt #GrowthProvidesOpportunities
