Henderson’s getting a fresh dose of neighborhood-bar-and-grill energy on Monday, as a new Applebee's opens at 530 Stephanie Street in the former Marie Callender's spot. The Flynn Group is running the show, and the roughly 5,500-square-foot dining room and bar are expected to bring about 120 new jobs to the area.
Grand opening, hours and where to go
According to the Las Vegas Sun, the restaurant will operate in a 5,500-square-foot space, with regular hours set for 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The official Applebee's page lists the address at 530 Stephanie Street, flashes a "Grand Opening Soon!" banner and includes a local phone number for anyone with opening-day questions.
Jobs and community plans
Flynn Group told the Las Vegas Sun the opening will create about 120 jobs, a notable boost for local hospitality workers. Company representatives also said they intend to work with neighborhood partners and host local fundraisers. Brad Miller told the paper the firm is "proud to continue serving the community" with the refreshed restaurant, framing the move as a community-minded update rather than a simple one-for-one replacement.
Who's behind the restaurant
The new Henderson location is operated by Flynn Group, which ranks among the world’s largest franchise operators and has been expanding its Applebee's footprint in recent years. Corporate materials note Flynn owns and operates hundreds of Applebee's units and more than 2,600 consumer-facing businesses across several brands, employing tens of thousands of workers (Flynn Group).
Local context
Until recently, the site was home to a Marie Callender's, which still lists the Henderson location at the same Stephanie Street address on its website (Marie Callender's). The Applebee's debut lands as the brand’s parent company and franchise partners pursue targeted growth and remodels in select markets, including conversions and dual-branded concepts, according to industry reporting (Restaurant Dive).
For opening-day details or job information, would-be patrons and applicants can call the Henderson phone number listed on the Applebee's page or check the site for updates. This story will be updated if the company releases additional information about the grand opening or hiring events.
